How to Make Seasoned Roasted Carrots
To start, you’ll want to prepare your carrots by either washing them to remove any dirt or peel them. You don’t have to peel carrots. The peel of the carrot is safe to eat and contains nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Chop the carrots in two or three pieces depending on how long you want your “fries.” Quarter the rounds and try to keep the pieces relatively uniform in size so they cook evenly.
Toss the carrots in a cast iron pan with olive oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. When I cook, I rarely measure, but check out the printable recipe card for a guidelines for the seasonings.
Bake for 25 minutes, stir, and bake for 25 more minutes. Piece a carrot with a fork to test the tenderness. If needed stir again and bake for another 10-15 minutes. I like to make mine fairly soft because I have a 1 year old eating them. Adjust the cooking time for your preferred texture.

This recipe is very adaptable. If you are using more or less carrots, your cooking time will be the same, just adjust the oil and seasonings.
One Tip
One whole bag of carrots will look like a lot before you roast them, but keep in mind that the slices will shrink. One bag feeds my family of three with hardly any leftover. If you are making these for a large family or want to enjoy some leftovers the next day, consider doubling the recipe.
