Ingredients
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots (washed, peeled and cut if large)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (plus additional to taste, as needed)
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper to make cleaning up easier.
- Toss Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrots onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, allowing them space for even roasting.
- Bake: Roast the carrots in the oven. For baby or garden carrots, bake for 18-20 minutes; for larger carrots, bake 25-30 minutes. Roast until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- You can use either baby carrots or regular carrots cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or a drizzle of honey before roasting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
