 Roasted Carrots 


Ingredients (4 servings):

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into thin sticks (or use baby carrots, halved lengthwise)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for a light glaze

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven: 425°F (high heat = faster roasting + caramelization).

  2. Prep carrots: Cut carrots into thin sticks about ½ inch thick so they roast quickly.

  3. Season: Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs (plus honey/maple if using).

  4. Roast: Spread evenly on preheated pan. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until tender and slightly browned.

  5. Finish: Serve warm, sprinkle with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.


✨ Tip: If your carrots are thicker or whole, slice them lengthwise so they cook evenly within 20–25 minutes.
