Bacon Roasted Carrots
Sweet carrots are drizzled with bacon fat and chopped bacon, then roasted until they are tender, sweet and caramely. So much flavor!
Ingredients
- 3 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 2 pounds of carrots, peeled
- pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook, stirring, often, just until the fat is rendered and the bacon starts to crisp up. Turn off the heat.
- Peel the carrots and place them on the baking sheet. I like to drizzle the carrots with the bacon grease that is in the pan. Toss the carrots to cover them evenly with the bacon fat. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the carrots, along with the pepper and garlic. Top with the bacon.
- Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisped and the carrots are fork tender.
- Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately!
