Healthy Thanksgiving Side: Rainbow Roasted Carrots
2 rater(s)

Not only do rainbow carrots make for a stunningly colorful side, but they are also naturally sweet with robust flavor. These carrots don’t require much seasoning because the point of this dish is to highlight their inherent sweetness. This dish does call for some fresh sprigs of thyme, which is an aromatic spices that complements the sweet flavor profile.

If you leave a small amount of the green tops one, this will look like a restaurant quality dish. You want to cook them long enough so that they are perfectly tender and caramelized. They go great as a colorful, healthy Thanksgiving side, but you can enjoy them whenever you like. Just make sure to make a large batch if you make them for Turkey Day because they’ll be gobbled up quickly. That pun was 100% intended.
