After a food coma from Singapore's 54th Independence Day and a super long weekend, I decided to go back to my strict diet. I feel like I'm gaining weight. My strict diet consists of more greens and fruits, less meat and sugar plus at least 30 mins of workout daily. I still can't get over my carrot cake recipe. Especially the roasted carrots; I still can find the same beautiful shades of different colors of carrots at my local market, so why not do a separate recipe properly?

I adore the smell of roasted garlic. Imagine the big smile on my face as soon as I pulled that outta the oven. The trick here is not to burn the garlic. I can use garlic powder and cheat my way thru' this recipe, but I love eating roasted garlic bits. So, how to not to screw this up? Keep a close eye on it when the aroma of roasted garlic permeates your kitchen. Pull the tray out, give the carrots a quick toss and check the garlic. If some are beginning to burn, remove them and place them separately in a bowl. Do not discard them. They are flavor bombs!

My daughters surprisingly like this dish. As a parent, I know how difficult it is to get your kids to eat healthy greens and fruits. I had been trying all sorts of ways to get them to eat. I am glad that they devoured this plate of roasted carrots without any complaining. I really hope you will give this recipe a try and roast some lovely carrots for your kids.
