Roasted Carrots with Creamy Goat Cheese

These roasted rainbow carrots are slightly sweet, creamy and tangy! Topped with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette, dried cranberries, thyme, and goat cheese; these carrots are super easy to make and will surely become a family favorite.

You can definitely roast these carrots on a baking sheet, however for easy cleanup and serving, I do it all in a skillet. That way it can go straight on the table, topped with everything and served right away. Instead of transferring it to a bowl from a baking sheet.

The ingredients are simple in this recipe, but pack a punch! There is acid, salt, fat, and sweetness to make a perfect balance of flavors. Bake the carrots until they are the level of “crispness” that you prefer.
