Roasting is a prime example of using seasonal produce in a minimalistic way. You get to bite into vegetables that taste of bluer skies and the end of winter\u2019s grip! And it\u2019s such a great way to do any veggie, not just carrots, because it celebrates the vegetable, letting it shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why are carrots roasted in the oven delicious?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The root vegetable is rich in sugars; roasting intensifies the flavor. As the oven does its magic, the carrots caramelize and brown, adding a more complex and sweeter dimension. The trick is to cook them enough to be tender but still crunchy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Oven-Roasted Carrots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Wash and dry your carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> I got my hands on these farm-fresh, cute little baby carrots, so I cooked them whole without peeling or chopping. For any kind of young carrots, scrubbing is enough. For older carrots, peel them before you roast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Washed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: Toss with olive oil, sea salt, and za\u2019atar, making sure to mix well, so each root is covered in oil and spices and browns beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Spread the carrots evenly and in a single layer on a parchment-lined (which makes cleaning so much simpler) baking tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Seasoned<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Bake until tender and just about done. It took me 30 to 35 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Sprinkle chopped cilantro on the oven-roasted carrots and serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
