Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots, olive oil, chopped oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated with the oil and herbs. (3 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal caramelization. (2 minutes)

04

Step

20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, toss the carrots gently to ensure even cooking, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Roasting time may vary depending on the thickness of your carrot slices and the accuracy of your oven. Check for tenderness with a fork.
If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, but fresh is highly recommended for best flavor.
Serve immediately as a vibrant side dish or let cool and add to salads for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
