Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. whole carrots peeled and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with foil (or parchment paper). You can also roast these on just the baking sheet if you don't mind the clean up.
- Spray baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
Season
- Add 2 lbs. whole carrots to prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp avocado oil and 2 Tbsp honey. Use your hands to toss and combine.
- Sprinkle carrots with 2 Tbsp fresh dill, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper and toss to combine again.
Roast
- Add baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, giving the carrots a stir about halfway through.
- Carrots are done when they are fork tender and caramelized as much as you'd like.
Serve
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves about 6, but the exact number of servings and the serving size are up to you.
- I like to cut the carrots on the bias (diagonally), so they have more surface area touching the baking sheet and can get more caramelized.
- Whole carrots have a thinner end, and a thicker end. Cut the thinner end into longer pieces, and the thicker end into shorter pieces. This helps them roast more evenly.
Air Fryer Directions:
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F then roast the carrots for about 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your carrot pieces).
- Just make sure you have the carrots in a single layer in the air fryer, or only the top ones will get caramelized and crisp.
