Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a smooth, unblemished surface. Avoid carrots that are limp or have any signs of damage.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Wash the carrots thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the carrots well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to flavor the carrots. Some popular choices include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure that the carrots are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If the carrots are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
