Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small carrots

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  1. Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450℉.

  4. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until just starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. When the butter stops bubbling, stir in 2 tablespoons fresh sage (or 2 teaspoons dried sage). Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and drizzle the sage brown butter over them. Garnish with fresh sage, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
