Crispy Roasted Carrots_finished

This bowl of crispy roasted carrots is so simple to toss together and makes the perfect side dish to any meal! You can also snack on these in place of chips or fries.

They’re crunchy, starchy, and flavorful.

Here’s a few tips to make them:

First, cut your carrots into even pieces. About 2-inches in length and then either half or quarter the carrot from there so that they are about the width of a typical french fry.

Then, make sure each carrot stick gets evenly coated with the oil, salt, and seasonings. I like to massage the carrots with my hand to give them a good rub down!

Lastly, don’t overcrowd your baking sheet or else the carrots won’t get nice and crispy. If you double this recipe, I recommend using two baking sheets.

Crispy Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of raw carrots, peeled
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut peeled carrots into 2-inch pieces. Then, slice them vertically in half to make thinner carrot sticks. If the carrot piece is very wide, cut in quarters so that all the carrots are a similar size.
  3. Toss the cut carrots into a medium mixing bowl and toss in the rest of the ingredients. Massage the carrots with your hands until evenly coated.
  4. Place the carrots onto the baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Bake for 30-minutes, and then mix up the carrots with a spatula. Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
