Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tarragon leaves. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can substitute 1 teaspoon dried tarragon.
  • To make sure the carrots are evenly coated in the tarragon butter, toss them gently in the melted butter before roasting.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked carrots will be mushy.
  • Season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the carrots immediately, while they are still warm and tender.

Conclusion:

Tarragon carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are roasted in a flavorful tarragon butter, which gives them a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The carrots are tender but still slightly firm, and they are seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Tarragon carrots are a great way to add a pop of color and flavor to your next meal.
