Best Make Ahead Baked Carrots Recipes

ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, or cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
