This carrot recipe is so good! The vinegar makes naturally sweet carrots, even sweeter. They almost taste candied! I love them so much, I’ve been making them several times a week. They last in the fridge for days and can be reheated in the microwave. Each ¾ cup serving has just 57 calories and 2 grams of fat. Such a simple and delicious vegetable dish to any main course.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounces) bag baby carrots or 2 (8 ounces) bags
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A little salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
- Spread carrots out over the pan. Drizzle olive oil over them. Toss with hands to coat. Spread out again over pan. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Bake in oven until tender, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over the carrots; shake the pan to coat evenly. Return to oven and bake until the liquid is absorbed about 8 minutes. Serve hot.
