Whether its a big holiday dinner or and everyday family meal, the side dishes play a supporting role and should never be overlooked. For me and my family, there is nothing better than simple roasted carrots.
This sauteed roasted carrots recipe from Sam the Cooking Guy is quick and simple and allows the subtle sweetness of the carrots to come through by using the best ingredients you can find. The one tip he gave to me when I interviewed him was that when your recipe calls for just a few items, you need to really make sure that those items are the best that you can find.
Happy cooking!
