Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the carrots. Trim off the ends and cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the carrots. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are distributed evenly.
Arrange the carrots on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded for even roasting.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course. Enjoy!
