Fall is HERE! The colours are so beautiful I LOVE just driving around! It also brings a bit of that instant “finish up before the snow flies” panic!

I know…I just mentioned snow! Currently I am trying to get tons of yard work completed at the cabin to move into OUR NEW HOUSE IN 3 WEEKS!”

Very excited to get settled in but enjoying the cabin extended into fall as we have never been here this late in the year before!

Cool is setting in and with it comes digging up the gardens!  I love seeing what the year produced and I’m really liking baking everything!  Baking really adds flavor beyond steaming or boiling vegetables!

These easy roasted brown sugar carrots are delicious baked! The sugar caramelizes and the garlic helps to balance the sweetness. I love my vegetables a bit crunchy when they are finished cooking, not soggy, so if you like your veggies well done your going to want to add about 5 minutes to this bake time!

I wanted to make this recipe super simple and use easy ingredients that are most likely already in your house.

Making Easy Roasted Brown Sugar Carrots:

Melt the butter and coat the carrots with it. Mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder and parsley flakes and sprinkle over the carrots. Toss to combine and bake in the oven! Couldn’t be easier but the taste is great!

Add 5 minutes to the bake time if you like your carrots softer.  I like a slight crunch left in these baby carrots!
