Whole carrots coated with an aromatic garlic, thyme and oregano infused oil and roasted to perfection!

Herb Roasted Carrots

It’s time to give one of my favorite vegetables a mega spring twist. I love carrots in Beef Stew,  Pot Roast and Soups more then anything, but considering we are moving towards the warmer weather and I likely won’t be making any of these winter recipes for a while, it’s time to dress up the carrots for the summer.

It won’t be long until my own carrots are growing and ready to pick, but until then my farmer’s eyes can spot a fresh bunch of carrots from a mile away, and I am certainly not passing up on those.

Fresh carrots (as in… just picked!) like this beautiful bunch I am holding in the picture below, are so much tastier, sweeter and less harsh and bitter. It’s the one crop I have success in planting year after year, whether there be in the garden or in containers, little can go wrong with growing carrots!

  1. Why have I never roasted carrots like this before? These look so delicious, and they’re probably the most BEAUTIFUL carrots I’ve ever seen in my life! Love the photos, and I’m so impressed by the fact that you’re growing your own carrots. I can’t even keep my basil plants alive haha.

    1. Thanks so much Hayley! I love growing carrots, in fact I just planted the carrots seeds this morning, a little behind schedule but that’s okay. They are easy to grow and really fun too! Check back for my next garden post (this week) where I will be talking about planting carrots and a few other easy-to-grow veggies. Xoxo 🙂
