What’s a substitute for Herbs de Provence?
In equal portions, use any combination of the herbs found in Herbs de Provence (basil, lavender, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage, savory, tarragon and thyme).
These carrots are nothing short of perfection — sweet, hearty, comforting, and bursting with fresh flavors.
They’d make for a fantastic Thanksgiving side dish, too! So beautiful and their color goes with the fall theme.
I love how you can take one whole, already beautiful, ingredient and enhance it ever so slightly with a few herbs and a little heat.
How to Make Them
- It’s so easy!
- Peel and cut the ends off of the carrots.
- Add them to a sheet pan lightly coated with olive oil.
-
Sprinkle the carrots with the Herbs de Provence and a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and use your hands to move the carrots around so that they are all equally coated.

Hahaha, 5 bags! That’s crazy. I do most of the grocery shopping, so we don’t have a too many of the same thing problem. Although my husband does seem incapable of locating any items in the refrigerator, even if they are literally right in front of him.
It does seem that you made the best of the situation.

Right? So funny. 😀

I’m surprised that you would suggest removing the skin on the carrots especially if we are purchasing organic carrots! The skin is very healthy. Why not just suggest that they are scrubbed well and then bake them accordingly?
valentina says
Good point, Marcie. I prefer my carrots peeled, but they certainly don’t need to be. 🙂

Those look fantastic! How nice that he makes sure you never run low on carrots. Mark is always careful to make sure our celery levels never get too low. Together we could make a nice soup! 🙂
