Garlic Herb Roasted Carrots
Description
This recipe uses whole fresh carrots seasoned with a garlic and herb mix consisting of garlic powder, oregano, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Coated with olive oil, the carrots are arranged on a baking sheet and roasted at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. The herbs provide an earthy, herbal note to the naturally sweet roasted carrots.
Adjusting the herbs to fresh variants can be done by adding them in the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning, with a 3:1 dried-to-fresh substitution ratio. Using carrots of similar size helps ensure even roasting. The finished dish offers a tender texture with herb-infused flavor, suitable as a versatile side for many meals.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, making this recipe convenient for meal prep or reheating alongside main dishes.
