Ingredients

Scale

Main ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots (washed and peeled, cut into 2-3 inch chunks if thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel carrots. If carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut carrots into about 2-3 inch chunks. Smaller carrots can be roasted whole or cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the prepared carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork and lightly caramelized.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For substitutions and additions, consider adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dill; spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika; a drizzle of honey or maple syrup; or a squeeze of lemon or orange juice before serving. Ensure carrots are cut uniformly and do not crowd the baking sheet for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
