Vegan Roasted Carrots with Butter and Garlic

A wonderful, simple side dish. Sweet and buttery, garlicky and savory. Inspired by chef Jamie Oliver, my sister and I challenged ourselves to create a cruelty free alternative. This is what we came up with. Delicious and nutritious, try these served with mashed potatoes and your favorite veggie burger.

You Will Need:

• 1 Lb. Carrots (Cut in half and quartered)
• 6 Cloves of Garlic (Diced)
• 4 Tbs. “Butter” (Your favorite, try Nucoa dairy-free margarine or Earth Balance Soy Butter)
• 2 Tbs. Olive Oil
• 1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 Tsp Fresh ground Black Pepper
• Salt to taste.

Directions:

1. You will love how simple this is. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Clean the peel your carrots. Cut them in half and the larger halves, cut in quarters (longways). The thinner halves (depending on how skinny your carrots are) just cut in half or leave whole.



2. Line a glass pan with foil, and place cut carrots in. Pour the oil on. Place the vegan butter in pads all around on top of the carrots. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Layer on the diced garlic.
3. Close the foil so that there is a tight seal. Place in the oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes. Every so often, open up and mix around. Carrots are done when soft. Last step is to enjoy!
