Description
Delicious roasted carrots seasoned with avocado oil, sea salt, and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb carrots, washed or peeled
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp sea salt or to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped – optional for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). For easy cleanup: line a large sheet pan or baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
- Cut carrots on the bias (at a diagonal) into 2-inch long pieces then cut in half again lengthwise. You should end up with carrot pieces that are roughly two inches long – rounded on one side and flat on the other.
- Add prepared carrots to the baking sheet. Drizzle oil over the top then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together with your hands until the carrots are evenly coated in oil. Spread out in an even layer across the baking sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fork-tender and the edges look caramelized. Check the oven at the 15-minute mark – total cook time will vary depending on the size of your carrots. Larger, thicker carrot pieces will need more time than small, thin carrot sticks.
- Remove from the oven and toss with fresh parsley. Season with more salt as you see fit and serve.
- Cool leftovers to room temperature then store in an airtight container in the fridge. Eat within 3-4 days.
Notes
- The roasting time may vary based on the thickness of your carrot pieces.
- Feel free to add other herbs or seasonings to customize the flavor.
