Roasted carrots with hazelnuts and mint

I love vegetables!

And yes – love them even more than fruits. My special favorites are the orange-colored ones: pumpkins, sweets potatoes, carrots.

Today we will talk about the delicious roasted carrots that I prefer to pair with roasted hazelnuts.

This great combination can ba a perfect light dinner option or just a healthy side with your main protein dish.

It’s super easy to make and it requires no speacial skills – just 20 minutes of your time.
