We always have a bag of carrots in the fridge. So when it’s 6:00 and my belly is rumbling and my toddler is telling me she’s starving and life feels all-around chaotic, I reach for that bag and make garlic roasted carrots. While it’s not a fancy recipe, there are never any leftover carrots. Easy. Healthy. Delicious.
Why make garlic roasted carrots
In 5 minutes you can have these carrots in the oven. 15 minutes later and they’ll be on your plate. Those darker spots you see make the carrots extra sweet. The simple mix of garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning gives the carrots the right amount of flavor but also keeps them neutral enough so that they go well with most mains. A little butter (or some vegan butter, if dairy isn’t your thing) makes these carrots extra delicious. We put a little on the pan after they come out of the oven. It will quickly melt so you can toss the carrots in the freshly melted butter. That way you can use just a little but the flavor is quite pronounced.
But this is a quick roasted carrot recipe. To get these babies on your table as quickly as possible, we crank the heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The carrots will become nicely roasted with lots of dark caramelized spots in only 15 minutes.
