Description

Garlic and herb roasted carrots are delicious and flavorful, easy to make, and the perfect vegan Easter side dish — or for any time of the year!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby carrots (approximately 2 bunches), rinsed, scrubbed and tops trimmed to 1 inch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. 
  2. Place carrots on a large half sheet baking pan and add olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  3. Arrange the carrots in a single layer and place baking sheet into the preheated oven.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until tender. Note that you will need to increase the cook time if using larger carrots.

Notes

How to store fresh uncooked carrots: When stored properly, whole raw carrots will stay fresh for up to four weeks. Yes, four weeks! To prolong their shelf-life, you can store them in an airtight container filled with cold water, and replace the water every few days.

How to store roasted carrots: Honey roasted carrots keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing them.

How to reheat: Reheat roasted carrots in a 350F preheated oven or air fryer until warmed through, about 5-10 minutes.

How to freeze: Once cooled to room temperature, store the roasted carrots in a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating or add directly to soups and other stovetop recipes. If planning to add leftovers to soups, I recommend chopping up the carrots before freezing so that you can easily add them to your cooking pot from frozen.

What to do with leftovers: You can enjoy leftovers as a side dish, just like you did when you made the recipe. Or you can repurpose them into a Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup (which can be stored even longer in the freezer!) or a Roasted Carrot Salad.
