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.

Ingredients for Roasted Carrots

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!
