Roasted carrots are a simple yet flavorful side dish that brings out the natural sweetness of carrots.
The carrots caramelize in the oven with a light coating of olive oil, seasonings, and optional herbs, becoming tender with a slight crisp around the edges.
The result is a deliciously savory-sweet flavor, perfect for complementing a variety of main dishes.
