Sweet Earth Roasted Carrots
by Anne Heart
We love to grow our own carrots; it’s simple and easy. No matter how many times we harvest, the kids always get surprised to see an orange, purple or golden carrot emerge from the dirt. Fresh, home-grown carrots have a vastly different aroma and taste than the bulk bags we can buy from the store. They have an earthy, aromatic smell with a much crisper and sweeter bite. Truly, this is one of the simplest yet most elegant recipes that feels like a celebration of Autumn.
This recipe uses my favorite spice blend for Autumn, Sweet Earth Spice Blend. The spices are grounding, moistening and a little sweet… just what we need to balance Ayurvedically at this time of year.
Ingredients:
10 Whole Carrots
1/2 Tbsp Sweet Earth Spice Blend
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Generous Pinch of Salt
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice carrots length wise in half.
Coat carrots with oil, spice blend and salt.
Bake for about 40 mins or until tips are a little crunchy and the middles are tender.
Enjoy!
