How to Make Roasted Carrots With Lemon And Olives

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of carrots (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces), 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of 1 lemon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.
  4. Transfer the carrots to a shallow baking dish.
  5. Roast for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly browned.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives (pitted) to the baking dish.
  7. Continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until the olives are heated through and the carrots are cooked to your liking.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
