Ingredients

  • 2 lb carrots about 12 medium carrots, cut ¾ inch thick on the diagonal
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: sea salt and Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic grated with a Microplane or minced to a paste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon butter vegan or ghee, as needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees - see notes.
  2. Add the carrots to a baking sheet that is at least 13" x 18" large. If you only have smaller baking sheets, use 2 instead. Toss the carrots with the olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning and garlic and spread them out evenly on the sheet pan.
  3. Roast the carrots for 15 minutes, mixing the carrots around the pan halfway through cooking. If you'd like more dark caramelized spots on the carrots you can leave them in the oven for up to 5 more minutes.
  4. Remove the carrots from the oven and, if using, add the butter. Let it melt for 1 minute then mix it into the carrots.

Notes

  • Roasting the carrots at high heat lets them get beautifully caramelized in a short amount of time. If your oven tends to be on the hot side, watch them closely near the end, or cook them at 475 degrees. If your oven will only broil at 500 degrees, set the temperature to just under 500.
