I love roasted vegetables. They are easy to prepare and save time on busy nights. They make an excellent side dish too and can easily replace starch as a side dish if you are counting calories.
Recently we have been making a lot of carrot fries instead of potato fries. Carrot fries are nothing more than roasted carrots but cut to look like fries.
The recipe is really simple and will take about 5 minutes of preparation. Serve in place of potato fries and or with a dip of your choice
