Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or leave them whole if they are small and thin.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning paste.
Step 4
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and develop a slightly caramelized edge. Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Step 7
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your meal.
