Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or leave them whole if they are small and thin.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning paste.
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and develop a slightly caramelized edge. Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your meal.
