    Bake the carrots for 20 minutes in a 425° oven. When done remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Serve as a side dish with chicken, steak, meatloaf, or pork chops.
    • Add some roasted tomatoes and a baked potato for a light meal.
    Do you need to peel carrots before roasting?

    No, just cut the tops off and wash well. Unpeeled roasted carrots have a nice texture and carrot skin gets a little wrinkled with a chewy outside and a creamy tender inside.
