Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Ginger
My youngest daughter, Madison, has a real passion for raw carrots. They're a staple in her lunch box each day, so when she spotted the vibrant rainbow carrots at Trader Joe's, her excitement was palpable. She was amazed to discover that carrots can be found in such a variety of hues! I couldn’t resist picking some up for her to try. The array of colors is absolutely stunning, though you can certainly opt for classic orange carrots in this dish as well. Recipe title: "Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Ginger"
