Hello Everyone,
This is Week 22. There are just two more weeks left until our long winter break.
Today we are getting carrots and garlic. What a great combination!
ROASTED CARROTS WITH GARLIC BUTTER
Ingredients
2 lbs carrots , cut diagonally into 2 inch pieces
5 TBS butter
4 garlic cloves , minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Cut up the carrots and set them aside as well.
2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large nonstick pan. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Take care not to burn the garlic as it will turn bitter if you do.
3. Toss the carrots with the garlic butter in the pan or pour the garlic butter over them in a mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
4. Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer and bake until the carrots are tender, approximately 25 minutes.
5. Remove the carrots from the oven to a serving platter. Taste the dish for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if you are using it.
Enjoy!
HELPFUL HINT: Garlic, as we all know, can stay with you for a while. Here are a couple of ways to lose the fragrance:
1. For your hands: Touch them to stainless steel.
2. For your breath: the next morning after eating the garlic, eat an apple for breakfast. The enzymes in the apple will clear the garlic odor.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and your day.
Have a delicious week!
Best,
