These Balsamic Roasted Carrots are the perfect, easy side dish to complete any meal! The recipe comes together so easily, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Vegan, gluten-free, paleo, low-carb, and contains no added sugar. A wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving feast!
This recipe for Balsamic Roasted Carrots is another great side dish for Thanksgiving! It looks so gourmet and fancy to me, but it's really one of the easiest recipes EVER.
Like I talked about in my last post, the way I navigate through Thanksgiving and all of the temptation is by making sure my plate is loaded up with lightened up sides like this one, my vegan stuffing recipe, these cauliflower mashed potatoes, and my Skinny Cornbread.
That way, I am still getting the full indulgent Thanksgiving experience, just with slightly healthier/lighter versions of some of the usual Thanksgiving classics.
Also, this 67-calorie pumpkin pie is a MUST! But if by the end of the meal, if you don't even have 67-calorie's worth left of space (I get it!), maybe you can squeeze in this 16-calorie pumpkin pie milkshake.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!!

Hi Annie, I've been looking for an easy way to use the Evoolution flavoured balsamic vinegars that I keep getting as gifts...thanks for sharing this!
Yay! Hope you enjoy 🙂 Thanks for the comment, Tim!
No problem Annie 🙂 Also, I made these tonight and they were so easy and quick to prepare...they also made an excellent compliment to the mashed taro root I used as the other side dish.
Wonderful!! I am so glad you enjoyed! Also, mashed taro root sounds incredible! I'm definitely going to have to look that up 🙂 Thanks, Tim!!
