The holidays are fast approaching and before you know it, it’ll be time to start planning all those holiday dinners! Fortunately for us, since we’re Canadian, our Thanksgiving Day is in October which means we’ve got a nice long break between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But somehow I still always find myself scrambling for easy side dishes to round out our holiday meals! These Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots are one of my favourite side dishes to make for the holidays because they’re quick, easy to throw together in a pinch, and can even be made from frozen carrots. I know… so easy, right!?

When it comes to holiday meals I like to spend my time focusing on the dishes that really shine, like this Roasted Turkey Breast with homemade Cranberry Bacon Stuffing, these Creamy Mashed Potatoes, and this homemade Vegan Green Bean Casserole. And for the rest of the side dishes, simple salads or easy recipes like these Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots are perfectly delicious and keep all that hostess stress in check – hosting a holiday meal is a lot of responsibility! Give yourself a break!

My favourite thing about this recipe is that it can be thrown together in less than 5 minutes. Using frozen carrots (thaw them for about an hour before using for best results!) is a huge time saver, and other than that it’s just melting some butter, adding the garlic and parsley, and tossing everything together and into the oven. What could be easier than that!!?? And who doesn’t love their veggies smothered in butter?!
