TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Citrus-Infused Roasted Carrots:

 

  • Slice evenly: Ensure all carrots cook at the same rate.

  • Adjust seasoning: Add more black pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Herb-Infused: Sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary for added aroma.
  • Sweet and Spicy: Drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup and add a pinch of cayenne.
  • Crispier Texture: Roast for an additional 5 minutes for a crispier bite.
  • Nutty Addition: Top with toasted almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing Option: Freeze roasted carrots in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
