I love roasting veggies, don't you? All the wonderful flavours seem to deepen and sweeten and become more pronounced. I often cut up a bunch of veggies, toss with a little olive oil or coconut oil and roast 'em up. My family enjoys them right out of the oven without any fanfare, "solo" or as a part of the meal. These days, I find myself experimenting a little, and this quick post, is a little recipe which has fast become a 'must make' at home!
Aromatic roasted carrots? Yes please. Try these. Let them become your own new.. best treat!
It's easy to make and transforms these carrots into a dish that could be enjoyed any time at all.. and maybe even for dessert! ok. I am kinda kidding, but these are SO sweet and succulent that I never seem to get a picture to share, as they disappear .. fast!
This recipe is more of a guideline ~ as will depend on how much of this delicious-ness you want to make!

Recipe Notes
They are ready when your home smells heavenly and the carrots are fork tender. This is also a personal choice. I prefer my veggies on the 'firm' side.

Nice addition of the garam masala, I'm sure they are delicious! I love to roast veggies in the fall/winter when they aren't as sweet!
