Ingredients

12 carrots
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.

Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

Carrots... who knew?!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe made me realize how good carrots could be. I rarely eat them outside of stews and such, but I ended up with way... too many after making a mirepoix. My changes: I halved the recipe because I only had 5 large carrots, used dried dill instead of fresh (which meant using a lot less... I eyeballed it), and after tasting them at the buzzer, I let them cook for about 5 minutes longer than the recipe said. This could not have been easier, and the carrots really benefit from the roasting and subsequent caramelization... it brought out a sweet, salty, roasty, mellow carrot flavor that was unexpected and delicious. I will definitely make these for potluck family meals.Read more

Wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not a big fan of cooked carrots, but this recipe brings out the sweetness and adds a lot of flavor. The carrots come out... a little crunchy still and the texture makes them that much more enjoyable. This is the way to get everyone to eat their veggies. Be sure to try Ina's Parmesan Roasted Broccoli too, another wonderful recipe.Read more

the best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best recipe for carrots. Wonderfully tasty hot or room temp. How great that it's so easy, too. I didn't have... any dill or parley, but very delicious without. I'm not fond of dill anyway. Read more

Quick and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not a fan of steamed carrots, but this roasted version is quick, easy and delicious. Next time I will cut the carrots... into slightly smaller pieces to keep the cooking at 20 minutes. Read more

Roasted Carrots
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Took 45 to brown, almost ruined my dinner, wouldn't recommend it at all. Other roasted vegetables are very good but the... carrots were awful!Read more

deliciously oven-sweetened roasted carrots...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this a number of times and it never fails to garner unending compliments. I tend to roast them just until they have... a lightish brown tinge on a couple of sides. It's definitely a great accompaniment to endless dishes.Read more
