Roasted Carrots- Vegetables & Nigerian Diet...Day 3

PK Blog 029
 I know some Nigerians might argue that we don't have baby carrots in Nigeria...you lie! There are; I saw them myself and spoke/commended the local farmer/supplier who supplied us when I worked for Genesis-2010. If you have no access to baby carrots, use regular type; just peel, cut in bias, wash and follow same cooking technique here.
You will be amazed how intensely sweet carrots can be when roasted, especially when in season. Even more amazing is how vegetable texture changes to an appreciable one when right cooking technique is used.
Long  story short, this is one way i enjoy carrots...high temp roasting with simple seasoning;
you will need extra virgin olive oil (I love fruity flavor it yields-you can use regular oil).
salt
freshly ground black pepper or Priscilla's All Purpose seasoning
Greased Baking pan
Preheated 450 degree Fahrenheit  oven
so;
combine oil, carrots, salt and seasoning to coat very well
Roast in oven for about 25 - 40 minutes depending on size of carrots.
Stir half way through cooking time to ensure even cooking and char.
Pull out of oven, plate and enjoy!
Tip: you can garnish with minced fresh cilantro, green onions or scent leaves and or a little drizzle of honey or maple syrup...
Serve as a side dish, vegan diet or munchies.
Be honest, is this hard?
Do have a Tasty experience in your KITCHEN and don't forget...vegetables are good for your health!
XOXO..
