Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the carrots and trim off the ends. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the carrots on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss the carrots to coat them evenly.
Step 4
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the gremolata. Finely chop 0.5 cups of fresh parsley and add it to a small bowl.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 finely minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the parsley. Stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Step 7
Once the carrots are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Sprinkle the gremolata evenly over the roasted carrots. Serve immediately and enjoy this bright and aromatic side dish!
