This recipe is so easy. Why didn't think of it before!
I was making a special lunch for two. My husband kept taking Friday afternoons off,after a year of upheaval at work, he is trying to catch his breath, and I kept being at work or etc,..he was not even sure if He could get home, but I wanted to make a special lunch.
More backstory, I am taking steps to better my health. I have been lax for about 5 years, a fixed and specific date where my heath was better than ever, but I got cocky and thought I did not need to be pro-active...first step was to get off most carbs...
I wanted to make herb roasted potatoes, but I did not want to eat potatoes, that would have set me back. Potatoes are great, but not for me right now. All of a sudden, since I was on day 5 off carbs, my culinary creativity returned with clarity of thinking.
I sprayed a pan with coconut oil, and added chunks of potatoes, and then chunks of...yes, carrot! My mouth is watering as it type!
To those I liberally dusted with tarragon, as little salt, and a little white pepper,very little, not enough to tell that it is really there, but it balances the sweetness of the tarragon tossed...
And baked in a 400 degree oven until the bottoms of both root vegies were brown and caramelized,for about an hour. Oh my! Unbelievably flavorful!!!
That is what I am going for. Flavorful! Not salty, no more deceptive fleeting carb-fixes....just flavorful! Enjoy!
Next post is the baked chicken strips I made to go with...also a winner!
