Oven Roasted Carrots

Crispy on the edges and full of flavor, this Oven Roasted Carrots recipe is a perfect side for anytime of year, but especially when young carrots with bright greens can be found at your grocer.

Growing up only eating boiled carrots meant this produce was often one that wasn’t considered very tasty. Boiled vegetables were very much a boomer generation way to cook most produce for dinner and that is uninspiring and quite frankly, means you lose so much of the flavor. Something that doesn’t happen when you roast vegetables, it’s like you intensify their flavor through the high heat of your oven.

Ingredients and substitutions for the best Oven Roasted Carrots

  • Carrots: Young carrots that still have their tops were used here for freshness. You can use carrots without that are a bit more mature which are usually most easily sourced, but if they are large thick carrots, it’s best to halve lengthwise before roasting.
  • Honey: Runny honey was used here that has a lightly fragrant sweetness to it, however, you could replace with maple syrup, if you prefer and/or don’t have honey on hand.
  • Yogurt: Greek yogurt was used thanks to it’s thick creaminess and tart flavor that helps keep this dish nice and savory.
  • Cilantro: Fresh cilantro was used to add a complimentary flavor without the bitterness you find in carrot greens. You could substitute in equal measure with carrot greens, but maybe add a pinch more salt to the yogurt mixture to help offset the bitterness.
  • Lemon Juice: The acidity of lemon juice helps to give our dish the real balance of flavor and keeps the yogurt mixture nice and savory.
  • Cranberries: Dried cranberries are used here to compliment the sweetness in our carrots, however, you could replace or even add in pomegranate seeds with the cranberries.
  • Goat’s cheese: The tartness in goat’s cheese adds a great creaminess to round out the dish, but you could substitute with feta or even blue cheese here.
