Citrus Roasted Carrots with Ginger

I have a new favorite condiment from Gourmet Garden.

No, this is not a sponsored post. I should get that out of the way pronto with you. I'm just a huge fan.

I've been using Gourmet Garden products for over a year now, and have never been disappointed. The newest line I love is their lightly dried herbs. They started showing up in my local market a few months ago, and the Lightly Dried Ginger is the first one I've been have some kitchen fun with. I used it in a chowder soup that serves up flavors of the Islands - it will be published on the Idaho® Potato Commission site around May 1 on here on The Wimpy Vegetarian over the weekend.

And now I've used it on this super-easy citrusy-gingery roasted carrots. We're huge ginger fans here at home, so we loaded it up. But feel free to adjust the amount of ginger to suit your own tastes - it's potent. Nothing shy at all about it.
