Tips:
- Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the carrots, but leave about an inch of the green tops attached. This will help the carrots retain their sweetness and nutrients.
- If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole. For larger carrots, cut them into 2-inch pieces or slices.
- Toss the carrots in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them caramelize and brown.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Add your favorite herbs and spices to the carrots before roasting. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and paprika.
- For a sweeter carrot dish, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the roasting pan.
- Serve the carrots immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
