Roasted Carrots with Rosemary and Pignoli Nuts (Paleo + Whole30)

    Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones.  The three main ingredients in this side dish, carrots, fresh rosemary and pignoli nuts, create the perfect savory combination.  I love serving this alongside a simple skirt steak or paleo chicken cutlets.
