Description
Delicious roasted carrots seasoned with herbs and spices, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large carrots
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the carrots by washing and peeling the carrots if you like. It is generally preferable to scrub them with a vegetable brush and keep the peels, especially if the carrots are organic. Keep them whole. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Season the carrots then place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, and sea salt. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Arrange on the pan so that the carrots are spread out in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. This helps them roast and caramelize instead of steaming.
- Roast for 15 minutes, until the carrots begin to soften and develop light golden edges, then flip them and finish roasting for an additional 10 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm, optionally finished with fresh herbs and crushed pistachios.
Notes
- Fresh herbs can enhance flavor when served with the roasted carrots.
- Crushed pistachios can add a nice crunch and flavor.
