Roasted Rainbow Carrots

These roasted carrots are sweet, caramelized, and full of flavor — all with just a few simple ingredients. They make the perfect everyday side dish and pair beautifully with chicken, fish, steak, or vegetarian meals.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
2. Peel the carrots and slice them into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
3. Place the carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over them.
4. Toss to coat the carrots fully, spreading them out in a single layer. Avoid crowding the pan so they roast instead of steam.
5. Roast in the oven for 35–45 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender and slightly caramelized on the edges. Flip halfway through for even browning.
