These made a great side with a roast last night. I made the dish using a mix of two coloured carrots (regular orange baby ones and young purple ones) I also threw in a few small parsnips we'd thinned out of the bed. We'll be making this one again!

*Made for Australia/NZ swap #62* We love roasted veggies, and we love lemon ! I had baby carrots on hand, and used those -- only additionally sprinkling with salt, pepper, and dried rosemary -- what I had. Roasted at 350* for 45 min. the 400* for 30 min. Nice to squeeze the garlic cloves, but the onions burned some -- think I would add more oil next time. Very flavorful side with sauteed tilapia loins. Thanks for posting, katew.

A nice side easy side that is brought to life by being roasted with fresh lemon wedges. I realized just before making (too late to e-zmail) that the cooking temperatures were missing from recipe so Googled what moderate (term used in step 4) oven temperature is 350F to 400F and in step five states hot which is 400F to 450F. I made one small change in that I through in a few quartered new potatoes. Thanks for the post.
