Oven roasted carrots is a side dish that is perfect for kids. Many children hate to eat vegetables, you may be concerned that your child is not getting enough fresh vegetables. Some kids don’t want to eat different types of food because there is green stuff in their food, or there is some onions in their food. Guess what, making roasted carrots means you control what is in your oven roasted vegetables. They are simply sliced carrots with a honey glaze sauce that tastes so good.
Making your own roasted carrots is very easy to do. You may even want to buy organic carrots, organic carrots are very inexpensive when compared to other organic vegetables, so if you haven’t tried organic vegetables this is a great dish to start with. Carrots have a natural sweetness to them, so most kids just love cooked carrots.

You can vary this recipe quite easily. If you like cinnamon, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon to the mixture of carrots and the marinade. I have tried this recipe with ginger, and pumpkin pie spice with really good results.
