Roasted Carrots

I could eat the whole cookie sheet full!
Anna at Pleasant View School House was talking about
roasting carrots and I thought I'd give it a try. They were
a big hit...and actually addictive. What a yummy way to
get your beta carotene!
Just cut carrots into equal sized pieces. Toss in a bowl
with olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder and thyme.
Spread in a single layer on a greased cookie sheet
and bake at 400 for 1 hour.
They should be soft, caramelized and even a bit
crispy on the edges.
Make extra! :) Yum.
On another unrelated note, Tuesday the 16th is
my dear friend's birthday. Click HERE to wish
Silver Fox a happy, happy day!

  8. These do look yummy! We will give them a try. I like Alan's idea of potatos, but cook them together with the carrots.

  9. Alan ~ I do potatoes like this all the time! Next time I'll do two cookie sheets...one of potatoes and one of carrots!

  10. Zuzana ~ the mister thought they were fries! Yes, they would make a good snack!

  11. I'm going to try both the carrots and the potatos at the same time...for someone who doesn't cook well, this might be the tip of the year!

  15. I saw a similar recipe in November Real Simple with a bit of honey added. I am not generally a carrot eater but these look delicous.

  17. I might roast some of these tonight, wonder how they would be with a little brown sugar. . . hmmm!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Guys...I'd be careful adding honey or brown sugar. I think it would burn at this high temp and for an hour. They are plenty sweet...like candy... without any of that!

  26. Oh, that looks so easy adn yes, yummy---for veggies that is. Will have to try. thank you Betsy.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sounds really good, even to a picky person like me!

    ReplyDelete
  28. ooh--i'd better see if i still have carrots in my garden, or if they've rotted away

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ahh yum. I missed breakfast and these look great. I do them with a roast chicken but never even tweaked to just doing them on their own.

    ReplyDelete
  30. My first thought was sweet potato fries..But I love carrots, and I will try this soon.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Looks great! I think almost every vegetable tastes better roasted, especially root veggies. It brings out their natural sweetness.

    ReplyDelete
  32. They look like sweet potato fries. How large or small did you cut the carrots? Inotherwords, were they in fourths or sixths or...?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I do a similar tray Betsy, but add parnsips & sweet potato. Along with the salt & herbs I squeeze a few shots of balsamic glaze over the lot.

  34. Cali Girl ~ I used large, full length carrots and cut them in thirds and then the thin ends in half and the larger tops in quarters...just so they are roughly the same width..about 1/2 inch.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Millie ~ balsamic vinegar is a great idea! I try that next time!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ooooooooooh YUMMY! I'm going to make those this week! Thanks for sharing!
