Lemon herd roasted carrots should be on your dining table this Spring! Spring is in full swing and farmers markets are filled with fresh and bountiful produce.

This time of year, I love buying carrots with the tops attached. Nothing screams springtime like a bunch of carrots with the tops, with dirt still clinging to them.

This is a great recipe to use up the leftover herbs sitting in your fridge. You can be creative with the herbs.

There is no bad herb when it comes to cooking as each herb infuses and imparts its unique aroma, and carrot is an amazing ingredient that is great with just about any herbs.

For this lemon herb carrots recipe, I used unsalted butter, fresh thymes, oregano, Italian parsley, and lemon juice. It’s that simple! You don’t need a complicated recipe and too many ingredients when it comes to a simple roasted carrots.

As carrots are naturally sweet in taste, there is no need to use honey in this recipe. Try making these lemon herbs roasted carrots, you will love them!
