Rosemary Roasted Carrots & Brussels Sprouts
Sep 9th 2025
Crispy edges, tender centers, and a bright citrus-vanilla finish—this sheet-pan side is as simple as it is crowd-pleasing. The Olive Leaf Rosemary Olive Oil infuses the veggies with herbaceous flavor while a drizzle of Cara Cara Orange Vanilla Balsamic at the end wakes everything up. Perfect for weeknights and holiday tables alike.
Ingredients
- 6 large carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2” coins
- 24 oz Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 Tbsp The Olive Leaf Rosemary Olive Oil
- Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2–3 tsp Rosa Maria Seasoning (or your favorite Italian herb blend)
- 3 Tbsp The Olive Leaf Cara Cara Orange Vanilla Balsamic
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss carrots and Brussels sprouts with Rosemary Olive Oil in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and Rosa Maria.
- Roast on a large sheet pan, spreading into a single layer. Bake 20 minutes, stir, then bake 15–20 minutes more until browned and fork-tender.
- Finish with Cara Cara Balsamic, tossing gently to coat. Serve right away.
Tips & Swaps
- Keep pieces similar in size so everything cooks evenly.
- For extra char, use two pans to avoid crowding.
- Finish with shaved Parmesan or toasted almonds/pecans for crunch.

Make it a meal
Serve alongside roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or salmon. Leftovers are great in grain bowls with feta and a splash more balsamic.
