Scale
Main Ingredients
- 500g / 1lb Chantenay Carrots (see notes)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp / 30g Butter, diced into small cubes
- 2 cloves Garlic, very finely diced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, very finely diced
- Flaky Sea Salt, to finish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) to prepare for roasting the carrots evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare Carrots: Use the side of a potato peeler or a teaspoon to pluck out the root from each carrot to clean them. Slice each carrot in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and faster roasting.
- Toss Carrots with Oil and Seasoning: Place the prepared carrots into a large baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat all carrots evenly. Arrange them spaced out in a single layer, making sure the flat sides are facing down for optimal browning.
- Roast Carrots: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until they become fork tender and develop a caramelized exterior.
- Add Garlic, Butter, and Parsley: As soon as the carrots come out of the oven, add the finely diced garlic, butter cubes, and fresh parsley to the baking dish. Toss immediately to allow the butter to melt, the garlic to lightly cook, and the parsley to infuse its fresh flavor throughout the carrots.
- Serve and Finish: Transfer the butter-coated carrots to a serving dish, drizzle any remaining melted butter from the pan over the top, and finish with a few pinches of flaky sea salt for texture and an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
