Roasted Pears and Carrots
Ingredients
4 carrots, peeled (optional), halved and cut into sticks
2 pears, halved, cored and cut into small wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper, more to taste if desired
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place pears and carrots on baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and a splash or two of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat thoroughly. Spread evenly into a single layer on baking sheet.
Roast in oven until carrots are still firm and pears are tender about 20 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestion
Turn this dish into a more grown-up side or salad for entertaining by adding some crumbled blue cheese and/or toasted walnuts!
