Roasting a large sheet pan of carrots on a Sunday is a great way to begin the week. Cook once and eat twice! The second time can be just as enjoyable as leftovers, especially if you turn them into a Roasted Carrot Soup! These are complimented by runny honey and fresh dill but carrots go well with many flavours. Other additions you might enjoy trying are:
- Butter with Salt and Pepper
- Brown Sugar, Honey, Molasses or Maple Syrup
- Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Ginger or Garlic
- Thyme, Dill or Parsley
