Ingredients
-
A bushel of carrots: peeled and sliced into oval-shaped pieces, each about 1/2 inch thick
-
Olive oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Spices
​
You can use a variety of spices to achieve a good savory taste, some of my favorites are highlighted below: garlic powder, paprika, parsley, thyme
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425oF
-
Wash, peel, slice carrots into oval-shaped pieces, each about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Place carrot slices in a big bowl, adding in enough olive oil (or your oil of choice) to evenly coat them.
-
Add your spices. This part is dependent on how many carrots you have. I suggest putting in 1-2 tsp of each spice into the bowl, tossing them around with the oiled carrots, and adding more as you go along. Each carrot slice should have a light dusting of spices.
-
Pour the carrots onto a sheet pan bake for 10 mins. Take the pan out of the oven, flip the carrots over, and bake for an additional 10-15 mins until browned on the outside and tender on the inside.*
​
*This can also be done by sautéing the stove-top, using a medium-large pan with medium heat. You will need to keep a closer eye on the carrots, as they will need to be tossed every 3-5 mins to ensure even cooking, for approximately 20 mins in total. To test when they are done, they should be browned on the outside. Take a fork and stab one through, if it is still hard, then they need to sauté for longer. If the fork easily slides through the carrot, you're done! Time to eat!
