Rosemary has been my latest obsession in the kitchen.  Maybe that is because my dad planted a huge rosemary plant for me…

It is such a fragrant herb, and so far… easy to keep alive.  Rosemary is good on grilled chicken, in steak tip marinade, in salad dressing, and in my two latest side dishes.  I made Garlic Rosemary Potatoes and Citrus Rosemary Carrots.  Perfect introductions into fall when the weather, mood, and flavors start to get heavier…

Garlic Rosemary Potatoes

Pieces:

1. One bag of small white potatoes
2. 2 tbsp. chopped garlic
3. 3 tbsp. chopped rosemary
4. 2 tbsp. sea salt
5. 2-3 tbsp. olive oil

Process:

1. Wash the potatoes and cut each one in half.
2. Spread them out on a cookie sheet (lightly sprayed with cooking spray), making sure there is breathing space between them.
3. Lightly mist them with olive oil until lightly covered, and sprinkle 1 tbsp. sea salt.
4. Bake at 375 degrees until fork tender, about 35-40 minutes.
5. Coat a shallow stir fry pan with 1-2 tbsp. olive oil and turn on medium heat.  Let the oil heat up for a couple of minutes.
6. Add the potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and remaining sea salt.  Stir frequently for 5-7 minutes, until the edges crisp.
7. Serve hot!

Citrus Rosemary Carrots

Pieces:

1. 1 bag of baby carrots
2. 12 ounces of carrot juice (you can find this in any health food store with the smoothies or juices)
3. 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4. 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
5. 3 tbsp. fresh orange juice
6. salt and pepper for seasoning

Process:

1. In a large stir fry pan, heat half of the carrot juice on medium-high until it starts to bubble.
2. Add the carrots, rosemary, lemon juice, orange juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Stir the carrots every so often, adding more carrot juice when it starts to evaporate.
4. Cook until carrots are tender.
5. Serve hot!
