carrot garlic ginger honey kid-friendly lemon recipe roasted side dish veggies

Ginger-Lemon Honey Roasted Carrots

ginger lemon honey roasted carrots from Mama Harris' KitchenAlright guys, today I come with a simple side dish that’s (in my opinion) just perfect for the season.

Have you ever tasted roasted carrots? Oh my, the first time I tried them I was smitten. They were just sooo good. I didn’t know carrots could taste like that! Now, of course I love my carrots. I’ve served them on a platter for parties with some form of ranch dip, and of course I’ve cut them up and added them to a pan when making a roast or peeled them into strips to put in a salad. Carrots are good, and I’m a lover of good food. But oh man, roasted carrots? If you haven’t tried it yet, you are surely missing out!

ginger lemon honey roasted carrots from Mama Harris' KitchenWhen I made roasted carrots the first time, I cut them into little strips that were all uniform in size, rubbed melted butter all over them and seasoned them with salt and pepper. Super simple, amazingly good.

However, I wanted to make some that would be a great side dish for the season (hint:EASTER!) and would be really pretty to serve on a platter. I started with a small batch, but you can absolutely double or triple the recipe how you deem necessary. This is for one single and simple bundle of carrots found in your local organic department. At my stores the only carrots they sell that still have the leaves and stems are organic, I just love those carrots tops they remind me of cartoons I used to watch a child.

ginger lemon honey roasted carrots from Mama Harris' KitchenNow I really wanted to play with the sweetness in the carrots that roasting brings out of them. So I definitely wanted to use lemon and ginger, but I also added a bit of garlic and honey, in addition to butter and olive oil combined. The result? Sweet, tender and super flavorful carrots that you can serve as a side to many a main dish (like my baked chicken or my cabbage rolls), or you can cut them up and combine them with any recipe you desire.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of organic carrots
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon (about 3 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon

Directions:

It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
