The Food Factor: Balsamic Roasted Carrots

Video by Jonathan Parrish

Need a quick side dish? Tired of your usual preparation methods? Try these Balsamic Roasted Carrots for a budget-friendly, flavorful veggie that goes with almost any main dish!

Crew Review: We expected these to have a much bolder balsamic flavor, but the carrots were pretty mild! We also cut the carrots into smaller pieces than the recipe instructs to make them easier to eat. This should be a family-friendly alternative to traditional cooked carrots!
