Pieczone Marchewki – Roasted Carrots

Have you ever cooked a meal that was just too beige? You know what I mean.

There are so many wonderful things that are delicous, but not necessarily visually striking, the meal we had over the weekend for example: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy.

It sounds a lot like a Thanksgiving dinner, but it’s the wrong time of year. We don’t cook a turkey at Thanksgiving becaue we go to my parents’ home, but I do buy a turkey or two when they’re on sale.

We pop them in the freezer for roasting later/now. Fortuanatley, this monochromatic meal was saved by Pieczone Marchewki – Roasted Carrots.

I found bundles of beautiful, small, carrots at Sprouts (a supermarket in our part of the country, inspired by farmers markets) in a vareity of colors.

They supplied much needed color and lovely flavor. They are simple to prepare, and the limited work involved can be done in advance.

Amazon links are part of their Associate program and purchases generate a commission for this site.

The only thing needed at the last minute is popping them on a plate for serving, making them ideal for a meal with guests.

As I mentioned, you can do all of the prep in advance and let them sit until it’s time to put them in the oven. If the children in your home can use a vegetable peeler, this a a dish they can fix themselves, and aren’t we all more likely to eat something we’ve prepared?

Smacznego!

PS- this is the second recipe I’ve made lately that has come from Polska Foods, a sadly, now defunct maker of organic pierogi.

Drizzle olive oil and honey over carrots, sprinkle with salt and pepper

Gently toss the carrots to coat, leaving them in a single layer on the pan (this is your stopping point if you’re preparing in advance)
