Roasted Carrots Recipe
Description
This recipe uses small peeled or scrubbed carrots coated with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted at 425°F until fork-tender, developing a slight browning that enhances their natural sugars. Roasting at high heat concentrates the carrots' flavor and yields a tender interior with slightly crispy edges.
The optional garlic oil topping, made by mincing garlic and combining it with olive oil and parsley, is prepared ahead so the flavors meld while the carrots roast. Drizzling this over the carrots before serving adds a fresh herbal and savory garlic note that complements the sweetness.
Roasted carrots are an accessible vegetable side that pairs well with many main dishes or can be served as part of a warm vegetable platter. The recipe’s straightforward approach highlights the carrot's natural flavor and uses common pantry ingredients.
