Spiced Roasted Carrots
Description
Tender carrots will absorb the aromas of the spices and work beautifully as a side dish or even as a standalone dish. The wonderful sauce you'll end up with will perfectly complement the mildly sweet roasted carrots. You can and should experiment with this dish! For example, you can roast the carrots at a higher heat so they turn out crispier, or before baking, spritz the carrots with sugar water—this way the carrots will turn an appetizing golden color, and the flavor will highlight the sauce even more vividly. Serve with herbs and the sauce.

1. Place the olive oil in a lidded container, reserving 2 tablespoons of the required amount; you will need them later. Add chopped thyme and rosemary leaves, vinegar, mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the olive oil. Cover the container with the lid and mix thoroughly until smooth.
