Balsamic Roasted Rainbow Carrots


I think carrots are the cutest vegetable to serve, especially the rainbow ones. Imagine you’re having your family over for dinner or need to impress a new person in your life, but you don’t know what side dish to make. This is where my Balsamic Roasted Rainbow Carrots come into play.


The balsamic glaze mixed with the carrots and the basil are such a delightful combo that can be enjoyed any time of the year. These carrots can be served with an entree and side salad, and will make eating vegetables so enjoyable.
