Roasted Rainbow Carrots

Rainbow carrots have been one of my favorite finds of the past few years.  Whenever I am at the grocery store getting carrots and they have any rainbow carrots, I always go for them because of how beautiful they look.  I think they really make any dish look more elegant even though they are simply prettier carrots.

Now this recipe is great for the holidays as a side dish or even just for a normal weeknight meal.  You can jazz up the spices if you would like, I kept them pretty simple for this recipe.  Sometimes I whip up a honey thyme glaze for them or add balsamic but really, they taste so good with simple spices that I normally just stick with that.
