Easy Oven Roasted Carrots are the perfect side for weeknight meals and holiday dinners.

Simply roasting carrots in the oven develops the natural sugars in the carrots making them sweet, yet savory and delicious.

This simple side dish is extremely budget-friendly but is miles away from the same old steamed carrots you may be used to. Eating on a budget doesn’t have to mean bland or boring, give this simple side dish a try and I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

I’m writing this post as a part of my 5-day $50 meal plan for a family of 4 for just $10 a day. That is 15 meals (5 each of breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for just $50. Are you up for the challenge?

Roasted vegetables are so delicious. Roasting them brings out there natural sweetness. Check out these:
