Ingredients in Roasted Carrots and Potatoes

Petite Potatoes – my favorite potatoes to use are mini Yukon gold potatoes. They are so creamy on the inside I just love them! You can use sweet potatoes or butternut squash as well, but you’ll need to cut them into small pieces. Carrots – these bright crunchy veggies become tender and flavorful when roasted with the right seasoning Fats – I like to use butter and olive oil for the best taste and texture Honey – for a little touch of sweetness Seasoning Blend – this recipe uses garlic, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. You can use other herbs and spices like rosemary or sage.

Flavor Variations

The seasoning blend we use for our roasted carrots and potatoes is a very simple blend and you can change it up depending on what you’re serving. Here are a few ideas:

Garlic Parmesan – add minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese Honey Dijon – Drizzle with extra honey and add Dijon mustard to the seasoning blend Spicy – add a bit of cayenne pepper to the mix Curry – add curry powder, cumin, and coriander Ranch – add a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
