I found this recipe for sweet roasted chantenay carrots on the Tesco Real Food website, and have tweaked it slightly by parboiling the carrots first, just to kick off the cooking process.
The roasting really brings out the delicious sweetness of the carrots, and a drizzle of maple syrup (or honey) and knob of butter make this side extra yummy! Serve as part of your roast dinner at any time of year for a simple and satisfying side.
Tip
- This sweet roasted chantenay carrots recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
