I’ve yet to discover a better method for preparing carrots that taste as delightful as when they’re roasted. The preparation is effortless; just peel, chop, season, and let them roast in the oven. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
This side dish is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of main courses, from pork tenderloin to grilled chicken, making it a fail-safe addition to any meal. Whether you serve these roasted carrots on a busy weeknight or for a special occasion, everyone is sure to love the flavor.
While roasted carrots are delicious with just a simple seasoning of salt and pepper, adding fresh herbs can greatly enhance their flavor.
- Carrots – Peeled, washed, and cut into uniform pieces. I like to slice them lengthwise into quarter-inch thick, three-inch long pieces for a visually appealing presentation.
- Fats – Both olive oil and butter are used for fantastic roasting and flavor.
- Seasonings/Spices – A combination of salt, pepper, garlic, fresh thyme and fresh parsley.
YUMMY TIP:
When the carrots come out of the oven, sprinkle them with some freshly shredded parmesan cheese for added flavor!
STEP 1
Combine the carrots, oil, melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, fresh thyme and fresh parsley in a large bowl. Toss to evenly coat.
STEP 2
Transfer to a sheet pan and spread out into an even layer.
STEP 3
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender. Enjoy!
