The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips for Sautéing Carrots with Red Onions:
- Choose the Right Carrots: Select fresh, young carrots with a vibrant color and smooth texture. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Prepare the Carrots Properly: Peel and cut the carrots into even-sized pieces or slices to ensure even cooking. Thinner slices will cook faster than thicker ones.
- Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for sautéing carrots, as it adds a rich flavor and healthy fats.
- Sauté over Medium Heat: Sautéing the carrots over medium heat allows them to soften and caramelize without burning.
- Add Flavorful Ingredients: Enhance the flavor of the carrots by adding aromatic ingredients like garlic, ginger, or shallots.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the carrots liberally with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices of your choice.
- Cook until Tender: Sauté the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking can make them mushy.
- Serve Warm: Sautéed carrots are best served warm as a side dish or as part of a main course.
