They are delicious and stunning to look at. I couldn’t stop eating it. Your table will be looking festive in no time with all the different colours. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

1      med   Bag mini rainbow carrots

1½    tsp     Crushed garlic

1      tsp     Oregano

2    Tbsp    Butter/Margarine (melted)

2    Tbsp    Maple syrup

½     tsp      Pepper

1     tsp      Salt

Garnish:
  1. Toasted pine nuts
  2. Chopped parsley
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking dish.
  2. Peel and wash your carrots. Place carrots in a big mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl melt together the butter, garlic and oregano.
  4. Combine the butter mixture with the carrots and mix well to coat.
  5. Add your salt, pepper and maple syrup. Mix well.
  6. Spread your carrots out into the baking dish. Get every last drop of sauce over the carrots.
  7. Roast for about 20-25 minutes depending on your oven. Give the carrots a mix halfway through.
  8. After the carrots are done, let them cool for 5 minutes.
  9. While the carrots are cooling, take a clean pan and toast your pine nuts on the stove. Remember to move them around every few seconds because they can burn easily. After they turned a light brown colour, they are done. Remove from pan because they will continue to cook.
  10. Serve your carrots on a beautiful serving plate. Garnish with your pine nuts and chopped parsley.
