Lemony Carrots
There’s nothing like a veggie side dish you can make with two staples you already have kicking around the fridge. These are the classic roast carrots of your dreams, and they employ a mere three ingredients (plus salt and pepper). The whole thing is brightened with slices of lemon that lightly caramelize during the cooking process, and it’s a good idea to stop, toss, and return them to the oven so none of those slices char and become bitter. It’s the one necessary step in a couldn’t-be-easier 10-minute dish. The result is super-tender carrots that even fussy kids will consider! Get the recipe:Lemony Carrots. Photo: Marcus Nilsson
