Carrots are one of those vegetables that are synonymous with springtime. Whether the Easter Bunny is munching on one or they’re baked into a divine homemade carrot cake, there’s no shortage of carrots this time of year. These roasted carrots are the perfect springtime side. They’ve got a little kick to them thanks to the sriracha in the glaze.

Asparagus, Prosciutto, & Swiss Roll-Ups
Asparagus begins to pop up on menus and in kitchens this time of year. Whether you use it in salads, on brunch menus, or in spring soup, you can’t go wrong with this spring-green veggie. To make these roll-ups, fill crescent rolls with a tasty mixture of mayo and mustard, asparagus, prosciutto (you could use deli ham if you have it on hand), and swiss cheese. They bake in the toaster oven in only 15-20 minutes. Serve these roll-ups with a little honey mustard for dipping as a simple snack, party appetizer, or side dish.
