Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform 2-inch pieces or desired size to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cooking
  1. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  2. Adjust roasting time based on carrot thickness and desired tenderness, checking frequently to prevent overcooking.
Serving
  1. Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and serve them immediately as a delicious side dish.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or a drizzle of maple syrup before roasting. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheated gently.
