  • Prep-Ahead Instructions:
  • Feel free to slice the carrots a day or two early, simply leave them in the fridge until you're ready to cook. 
  • Storage Directions:
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Or, freeze these carrots in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 6 months. You can warm these back up in the oven, a skillet, or in the microwave.
  • Recipe Tips
  • Use maple syrup or agave nectar to make this recipe vegan.
  • Feel free to substitute with ¼ teaspoon dried herbs instead of the fresh.
  • If using whole carrots, cook them at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
  • Choose whole. Avoid using the bag of baby carrots as these have less flavor. The best carrots to use are whole.
  • Pay attention. Your cook time will vary depending on whether you're using whole or sliced carrots.
  • You pick. Peeling carrots is optional but it does give them a better texture.
  • Make it work. Change up the flavors by using a different sweetener or experimenting with other herbs and spices.
  • Add some color. A sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley, rosemary, thyme, or cilantro, gives this best roasted carrots recipe a beautiful pop of color before serving!
