Notes
Recipe Tips and Tricks:
-
- Cut evenly: Slice the carrots into similar sizes so they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread the carrots in a single layer with space between them to help them caramelize instead of steam..
- Roast until tender: The exact cook time may vary based on your oven and the thickness of your carrots, so check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
-
- Refrigerator Storage: Store leftover roasted carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer Storage: You can freeze the roasted carrots in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2-3 months, though the texture may change slightly after thawing.
- Reheating: Reheat the carrots in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to help them stay crispy.
