Roasted Carrots with Sweet Curry Butter

Carrots! Gotta love that crunch. I’d like to say that they’re great for your eyes as well, but I’ve eaten a decent amount of carrots in my lifetime and…remember that time my retina detached earlier this year? Yeah, so. We’re going to chalk that up as an old wives tale.

Despite eating a decent amount of carrots in my lifetime, they sit closer to the bottom of my ‘favorite veggies’ list. I’m a greens girl myself – give me ALL the broccoli and brussel sprouts and asparagus, please! But – carrots deserve some love too, and this recipe is all about the carrot love. They are roasted in not only butter, but butter sweetened by brown sugar and seasoned with curry powder. It’s a superb flavor for this time of year and it would make a great side for Thanksgiving dinner – just saying!

I used rainbow carrots, because they’re absolutely stunning, but you can use any carrots you darn well please. Really, I don’t carrot all. Ha. Haha. Ugh.
