Simple Roasted Carrots

Simple Roasted Carrots

(4-6 servings)

Ingredients:

1 ½ lb. Fresh Carrots (see note)

2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, melted

As needed Salt & Black Pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl, toss together the carrots, butter and seasoning.  Spread the seasoned carrots out on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.  Cover and place in a pre-heated 425 degree oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.  Uncover the carrots and continue in the oven for 30 to 35 more minutes.  Be sure to stir or toss the carrots twice during this time.  Remove and place in a serving dish, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed and serve.

Note:               Peel and trim the ends of the carrots.  Next cut them in uniform lengths of 3 to 4 inches.  Take each cut section and cut in half or quarters, depending on size, the long way.  You can get more creative in how you cut up your carrots if you desire.

Note:               If need be, the carrots can be done an hour or so ahead of time.  This usually happens when the oven is needed for other items at a different temperature.  Just leave them on the baking sheet at room temperature.  Then while the meat is resting before slicing, put the carrots back in the oven to reheat for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees or more.
