Description
A simple and delicious way to prepare carrots, enhanced with aromatic herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large carrots
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the carrots by washing and peeling them if you like; I generally prefer to scrub them with a vegetable brush and keeping the peels, especially if my carrots are organic. Keep them whole. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Season the carrots then place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, and sea salt. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Arrange the carrots on the pan spread out in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. This helps them roast and caramelize instead of steam.
- Roast for 15 minutes, until the carrots begin to soften and develop light golden edges, then flip them and finish roasting for an additional 10 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm, optionally finished with fresh herbs and crushed pistachios.
Notes
- This roasting method brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices according to your preference.
