Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select carrots of uniform size and color. Fresh, tender carrots will yield the best results.
  • Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots thoroughly under running water and peel them using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into even-sized slices, rounds, or sticks. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Blanch the carrots (optional): Blanching the carrots briefly in boiling water helps retain their color and nutrients. Plunge the carrots into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, parsley, and chives add a burst of flavor to the carrots. Strip the leaves from the stems and chop them finely.
  • Season the carrots: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are classic seasonings for roasted carrots. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin for a smoky flavor.
  • Roast the carrots: Toss the carrots with olive oil and seasonings, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the carrots in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
