Simple but yet so flavorful. It's a great side dish with any protein, on top of a salad, atop quinoa maybe?

Roasted Carrots & Apricots With Sage
You know Apricots...those beautifully orange colored fruits full of beta-carotene and fiber. Ummmm. think first sign of summer ok? And Carrots (also full of beta-carotene), well there just extremely nutritious and tasty not to mention pretty much available all year round. BUT did you know how well they pair together? Carrots and Apricots (along with Sage we might add) are what they call "companions." Ok...bear with me, what i mean is that they are great planting companions and "companion planting" is little more that a general notion that certain plants can benefit others when planted in near proximity. Well we figure if they play so well in the garden then probably play just as well in the oven! Right? Simple but yet so flavorful. It's a great side dish with any protein, on top of a salad, atop quinoa maybe?
Roasted Carrots & Apricots With Sage:
3 large carrots cut up or 6-7 medium carrots
1 tsp molten salt
4-5 medium size apricots
5 garlic cloves
handful of fresh sage
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
-
Wash and dry (and peel if you prefer) carrots. Slice carrots into 3 to 4 inch wedges. To help things cook evenly, we’ll need to cut these carrots into a uniform size for even cooking.
-
Slice the ripe apricot at the natural seam, twist the apricot in half, and remove the pit.
-
Trim the tip of the garlic clove and crush the clove slightly, leaving it whole.
-
Add a handful of sage
-
Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
-
Roast in oven for 30 minutes or until carrots are very tender and caramelized.
