Instructions
Step 1
Begin by washing and peeling the carrots. Cut them into wedges to ensure they cook evenly. In a large bowl, combine the carrot wedges with salt, black pepper, dried garlic, and vegetable oil.
Make sure to coat the carrots well with the oil and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor while roasting.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking tray for even roasting.
Place them in the oven and roast for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Make sure to stir them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven. Squeeze fresh juice from the lime or lemon over the hot carrots.
Finally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
Servings
These roasted spiced carrots are a **perfect side dish** for family gatherings or casual weeknight dinners. Serve them warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime to brighten the flavors. 🌽💚
For an even fancier presentation, consider serving these carrots on a platter with a dip made from Greek yogurt mixed with herbs. It adds both flavor and a creamy contrast to the roasted spices! 🎉
Another fantastic idea is to serve these as part of a colorful vegetable medley. Combine them with roasted potatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini for a vibrant and nutritious feast! 🥦🥕
Equipment
A good chef’s knife is essential for cutting the carrots into perfect wedges. Make sure it's sharp to get even slices without much effort!
Use a sturdy baking sheet to ensure even roasting. You may want to line it with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Faq
- What type of carrots should I use for roasting?
Any carrots are great for roasting! However, baby carrots or regular medium-sized carrots work best for even cooking. Just remember to peel or wash them properly!
- Can I add other spices to the carrots?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with spices like cumin, paprika, or even a pinch of chili powder for some heat.
- How can I make the carrots more caramelized?
To increase caramelization, make sure to roast at a high temperature (around 425°F/220°C) and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. This allows steam to escape!
- Can I prep the carrots in advance?
Yes! You can slice and season the carrots a few hours or even the day before. Just cover and refrigerate them until you're ready to roast.
- What other dishes go well with roasted carrots?
Roasted carrots complement a variety of dishes including grilled meats, baked fish, or even served alongside a hearty grain salad.
- Can I freeze the leftover roasted carrots?
Yes, you can freeze the leftovers! Just make sure to let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They keep well for up to three months.
