How to Make Roasted Carrots with Garlic and Ginger

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the perfect roasting temperature that caramelizes the carrots while keeping them tender.

Step 2: Prep the Garlic & Ginger

In a food processor, combine garlic cloves and peeled ginger. Pulse until finely chopped. (Pro tip: Store extra in mason jars for later use!)

Step 3: Toss Everything Together

On a baking sheet, mix the chopped carrots, garlic, and ginger. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.

Step 4: Season & Arrange

Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the seasoning is well distributed. Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking dish.

Step 5: Roast to Perfection

Place the carrots in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Once out of the oven, top the roasted carrots with crumbled goat cheese, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Serve hot and pair with your favorite main dish for a flavor-packed side that everyone will love!
