Much of the research on carrots has traditionally focused on carotenoids (an organic pigment found in some natural foods) and their important antioxidant benefits address book outlook 2013.  It has been said that people consuming diets rich in carotenoids from natural foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are healthier and have lower mortality from a number of chronic illnesses download music for free.  That’s good enough for me.  This dish is simply carrots cut into chunks and drizzled with a quality olive oil and some salt and pepper.  Left firm, they are a simple side to about any dish youtube videos windows 7!

Ingredients:

6 Large Carrots, peeled
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (you may choose a flavor infused to your liking)
Salt & Pepper, freshly ground to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees love tester herunterladen.

Wash and peel the carrots, discarding the greens and peels video youtube herunterladen app.  (Although I often save them in a zip lock baggie within the freezer to make homemade chicken stock in the future)

If the carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise youtube livestream.  Otherwise, leave whole but slice the carrots into one to one and a half inch thick chunks. (Keep in mind the carrots will shrink while cooking.)  Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Transfer to a baking stone or sheet pan, spreading in a single layer.  Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing half way through and until browned and tender.

We serve these simply as a side dish and they are awesome!

Enjoy!
