How to Make Garlic Roasted Carrots Recipe
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
For these easy roast carrots, you’ll need just 5 ingredients: fresh carrots, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
You can also use Stone House Seasoning in place of the garlic, salt, and pepper called for in the recipe if you have it on hand.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep. Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Bake. Arrange the carrots on the baking sheet and drizzle them with the olive oil and then sprinkle them with the garlic, salt, and pepper. After a quick toss to make sure they are well coated, I place them into the oven until they are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Note: If the carrots are very large, the cooking time may be a bit longer, and if they are smaller, then just a bit less.
Serve. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
They are delicious served with my rib eye steaks, baked chicken, baked ham, roast turkey, and so much more!
Storage Tips
To make ahead or store leftovers. Cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat and serve.
To freeze. Cool and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat and serve.

How about using baby carrots? Less cook time?
Hi Charlotte,
You can use baby carrots if you wish. I just love how the whole carrots look roasted. 😉
Just check them a little earlier to see if they are done to your liking.
Thanks so much – I hope you enjoy them! xo
Sounds delicious to me!!! I LOVE roasted carrots. However; I must ask, 1 carrot is considered a serving?
Please explain.
Regards,
They are absolutely delicious! One or two big whole carrots is about what I’d eat as a side during a meal, but you can definitely make and eat more if you’d like. Hope you enjoy them! Thanks! xo
What is kosher salt?
I believe, It’s just a better salt for cooking. Can find it easy in salt and spices ,section.
I like the tast ,but my husband can’t tast any different.
