Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the carrots and trim their ends. Cut any large carrots lengthwise so they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and starting to caramelize.
Step 5
While the carrots are roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 6
Stir in the ground cardamom and cook for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 7
Once the carrots are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 8
Drizzle the warm cardamom butter over the carrots and gently toss to coat.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
