How to Make Perfect Garlic Roasted Carrots
Making a great roasted carrot recipe is simple! It only takes a few simple steps.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Toss the ingredients together and then place in a baking dish.
- Tent with foil to keep the steam in, and roast for 30 minutes – this helps the carrots cook tender without browning.
- Remove the foil and roast an additional 30 minutes, until the water has evaporated and the carrots are lightly browned in spots.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
Do you peel carrots before roasting?
That is entirely up to you! You do not need to peel them as long as you give them a good scrub before you roast them.
It’s amazing! In fact, Joel and I happened to steal quite a few pieces from Ladybug at dinner this night, and she was not happy to share! 🙂

They sound great. I too have discovered that adding garlic to roasted things makes them more delicious. Next time you make roast lamb, try poking holes in it with a knife and put slivers of garlic in the holes. It'll melt in your mouth!
