Oven-baked carrots: a selection of simple and healthy recipes

A bright and juicy beauty carrot is most often used in cooking as one of the ingredients in complex dishes. Not everyone knows that this healthy and tasty vegetable can be used to make excellent side dishes for meat or fish, as well as simple snacks that will appeal to many. Today we will look at a few simple recipes for baking carrots in the oven.

Step by step recipes for baked carrots

About two years ago, I never could have thought that carrots could be baked. No, of course, I used it to cook a vegetable "pillow" for fish in the oven and added to the roast, but I never cooked the root vegetable without other ingredients. However, it turned out by chance that my daughter is a great "eater" of baked vegetables. After she started choosing carrot pieces from all the dishes, I decided to look for food options in which this particular product plays the main role. And I must say that there were a lot of necessary recipes. Moreover, my spouse liked these dishes too, so now I cook them very often.
