What else can you do to a veggie?

Roasted Carrots

When 3/4 of your dinner plate is veggies every night, you need to have lots of different variations of the same vegetables. You can't very well serve steamed carrots over and over again! Take Bubba to heart - "you can bbq it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it....." So how many ways can you serve a carrot?? Here's one way. It was a big hit with the family!

5-6 unpeeled, washed carrots - Most of the nutrition is in or right below the peel. No other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots, which the body converts to vitamin A. Chop chunks too roughly all the same size.
1/4 Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 Olive Oil
1/4 organic broth - can be beef or chicken depending on the main dish
Thyme, Rosemary, & Black Pepper to taste

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat carrots with marinade and cook until carrots are browned and tender, 45min. to an hour. When you remove the carrots from the oven, pour alittle broth in the dish. While scraping the bottom, toss with the carrots. This loosens all of the yummy goodness from the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!

Good health never came out of a pill.
