I am finally adding today's recipe to my long list of easy roasted vegetable recipes which includes Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes (One Pan), Oven Roasted Cauliflower (One Pan) and Oven Roasted Sausage and Vegetables (One Pan). All of them make a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served at regular weeknight meals or even dinner parties. They are crispy but tender and slightly caramelized. They are also bite-sized and obviously kids love that!

How to make easy one pan oven roasted carrots recipe from scratch?
- Spread carrots in a baking tray.
- Mix in olive oil and seasonings and toss everything together.
- Bake and mix in fresh parsley and you are done.
Tips and variations for baked baby carrots
- Line the baking tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread out the carrots so they are not overlapping because this allows even baking.
- Do not cover the pan with foil because that steams instead of roasting and makes the carrots mushy instead of crisp.
- Rainbow carrots or even whole carrots can be used, although I prefer baby carrots.
- For a deeper flavor, use a combination of unsalted butter and olive oil.
- I used salt, pepper, parsley and garlic powder but you can mix in Italian seasoning and other fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, cilantro e.t.c.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder.
- If you like cheese, mix in about 2-3 tablespoon of finely shredded parmesan cheese, as soon as you take the tray out of the oven. My son loves this!
- For a spicy kick, add ½ teaspoon red chili flakes.
- Mix in other vegetables such as Broccoli, Beets, Potatoes, Sweet potatoes, Parsnips, Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower, Onions.
- Make a glazed honey roasted version- Mix in 2 tablespoon of brown sugar, honey or maple syrup with all the other ingredients and then bake. Be sure to toss everything a couple of times to prevent burning.
Recipe FAQs
I prefer baking at 450 degrees. The high temperature evaporates moisture quicker in less than 30 minutes and makes them nice and crispy. 425 degrees requires baking for an additional 5-8 minutes.
