Ingredients
- 6 medium Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. If the carrots are very thick, slice them in half lengthwise. For even cooking, aim for pieces that are uniform in size.
Step 3
Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Toss the carrots with your hands or a spatula to ensure they’re evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. Spread them out in a single layer so they roast evenly.
Step 5
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir or flip the carrots halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
Step 6
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
