Olive oil - Use a good extra virgin olive oil.

How to Make Baked Paprika Carrots

Preheat the oven to 425° and slice the fresh carrots.

Add the carrots, oil, and seasoning into a medium bowl, and toss coat the carrot slices.

Arrange the carrots on a parchment lined baking sheet. My most used is this jelly roll pan made by USA Pan.

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.

Make a dinner of side dishes!
