Recipe Tips

This recipe calls for baby carrots, which are naturally moister, so be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking.
If you prefer a crispier result, you can always swap baby carrots out for regular carrots and chop them into thin strips.
These roasted carrots are best served immediately while they’re still warm and tender. So try to serve right away!

How To Store Leftovers

REFRIGERATE – Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
TO REHEAT - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Add carrots to a baking dish in a single layer and reheat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
