Roasted Carrots

These roasted carrots are perfectly soft and slightly spicy, making them the perfect side dish for any meal! They’re very easy to make, essentially just coating the carrots in lots of olive oil and tons of spices!

I provide my spice mix below to make these carrots a little bit spicy, including red chile flakes and some optional cayenne. Other than that, just spices you’re pretty much guaranteed to have in your spice cabinet.

Enjoy these carrots with a delicious dinner of mozzarella pesto chicken wraps, smashed potatoes, and rainbow corn avocado salad! Or, switch those up with anything you find on my site!
