I love fresh garlic and I love baby carrots. I decided to put them together, and the recipe turned out amazing.  It has become one of my go-to recipes for an easy vegetable side dish. This recipe requires very little preparation since it only has 3 ingredients. Extra Bonus – They even taste great as leftovers! I had to share my recipe with you. Please let me know if you make this recipe and how you like it by leaving a comment at the end of this blog post.

Ingredients:

• One 32-ounce bag baby carrots
  
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Combine the carrots and olive oil in a large bowl.
3. Add the minced garlic cloves and stir. I like to use a garlic press by placing one clove of garlic in the press at a time. Learn how to mince garlic or use a garlic press by watching this short video: 
4. Place the carrots in a single layer on a 12″ x 16 3/4″ baking pan. I like to use a darker pan because the carrots will brown more.
5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender. I check to make sure the carrots are tender by using a fork to poke the carrots to see if they are soft.
