How to roast vegetables:

Roasting is a dry, high heat method of cooking normally used to cook meat or vegetables. As the food cooks at high heat, the natural sugars caramelize and create delicious flavor. 

How to roast carrots:

To roast carrots, peel the carrots and cut on a bias.

Place the sliced carrots on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil or avocado oil.

Season with salt and pepper and toss the carrots to combine.

Lastly cook in a 450 F degree oven for 25-30 minutes

Tips for roasting vegetables:

Shallot cream sauce:

This shallot cream sauce is made by reducing shallots in white wine and then adding cream.

It is so simple, but the flavors are complex and absolutely divine on just about anything.

I serve this sauce on fish, chicken and pork tenderloin. It’s also delicious on roasted vegetables like these roasted carrots.
