This recipe is a quick and easy side dish with an incredible flavor. Each time I’ve made it, both Mr. SP and my father-in-law have raved over its flavor.
Warning: this recipe contains anchovies. I hope you’ll keep reading because anchovies are actually a delicious way to flavor a dish. They melt into a smooth paste that disappears into a sauce but imparts a flavor like no other. A delicious side dish with incredible flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
Roasted Carrots
1 1/2 lbs carrots, sliced or a large bag of baby carrots
1 T EVOO
2 cloves of garlic, chopped (Use more or less depending on how much you like garlic)
1 (2 oz) tin of anchovies (packed in oil) (Use half a tin or less if you aren’t sure that you like anchovies)
Salt
1/4 c. chopped Parsley
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Toss carrots with 1 T EVOO and salt to taste. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Combine the contents of the anchovies tin with chopped garlic in a small saucepan and heat on low until the anchovies melt into a smooth sauce.
Use a simmer flame if you have a gas stove or a very low heat with an electric stove.
With no stirring at all, the anchovies melt into a delicious sauce.
4. Stir anchovies mixture into the roasted carrots along with chopped parsley.
We really love this dish. I hope you’ll consider giving it a try!
WOW! Who would have known?! My husband likes anchovies but my sons and I are not that brave. I’m going to have to try this out and not mention the secret ingredient and see what they (and I) think. I’ve roasted carrots before and added orange juice and they’re delicious but this sounds really interesting. Thanks!
It’s a beautiful dish. As long as I can just dump those anchovies into the pan and not touch them, I’m willing to try it. Since I like Caesar dressing, I should like this too, right?
Looks so good!
Hmmm… that’s some secret ingredient! I roast carrots with EVOO quite often, and sometimes I do a little drizzle of honey, but This is entirely new and different! I’m very curious to taste them!
REALLY? Anchovies? I’ve never heard of that. I bet that adds tons of flavor. I’m not a big carrot eater, but I bet my family would like them. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds really yummy. I’m not afraid of anchovies, I’ll have to try it! Carla
