Roasted Carrots


Description

These are my go-to oven carrots: simple, unfussy, and reliably delicious. Perfect as a weeknight side or for Sunday lunch.


Ingredients

  • ±800g carrots (about 8 medium), peeled, sliced in half and then chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked Black pepper
  • Optional: Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Prep the carrots: Peel, cut in half along the length of carrot and then chop diagonally (looks pretty!)
  3. Season: Toss the carrots with the olive oil, salt and a good grind of black pepper.
  4. Roast: Spread out in a single layer on the tray. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelised.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley (optional)

Notes

  • Baby carrots may cook a little quicker.
  • If your carrots are large, they may need an extra 5–10 minutes.
  • To add extra sweetness, drizzle over 1 tablespoon honey before roasting.
