As a busy mom, I'm always looking for easy and healthy recipes that my family will love. These Oven Roasted Carrots are a lifesaver! They're so simple to make, and they're packed with nutrients.
The best part about these carrots is that they're not mushy like boiled carrots. They're roasted to perfection, so they're slightly caramelized and have a wonderful crispy texture. The lemon juice adds a bright and refreshing flavor that makes them irresistible. My kids love them, and I feel good about giving them a healthy snack that they'll actually eat. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give these Oven Roasted Carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
Step-by-step
- Set the oven to 450 degrees F
- peel and slice the carrots on the diagonal so you get long thin slices(about 1/4 inch thick)
- spread the carrots in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the carrots and using your hands, ensure the carrots are completely covered with olive oil.
- Add the salt and pepper
- Place in oven.
- After 5 minutes, stir the carrots around and add the dill.
- cook for approximately 10 minutes until slightly soft (carrots will continue to cook after removed -- Do not overcook!!!). Continue to monitor and mix carrots as cooking times vary depending on oven.
- place in heated plate and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the cooked carrots.
