Don’t those look yummy? Okay, maybe you have to get over the purple color first. Better now? Yum! I just scrubbed these well, cut them in half, then drizzled them with olive oil, sprinkled on some salt and pepper, and tossed them in the oven. They take about 30-40 minutes at 400 or 50-60 minutes at 375. I made these for Master Gardener class last week and I sprinkled some fresh thyme and rosemary leaves over the carrots as well. Even better! Roasting carrots is far superior to boiling, in my opinion.
