Roasted carrots with mustard and herbs

Roasted carrots with mustard and herbs is a simple yet delicious side dish that complements any meal. The combination of earthy carrots, tangy mustard, and fresh herbs creates a perfect blend of flavors. This recipe is not only quick and easy to prepare but also healthy and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients:

4 cups carrots
510g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tbsp fresh parsley
1.90g
2 tsp mustard
10g
1/2 tbsp dill
1.55g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Carrots:
If not already done, peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Season the Carrots:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots with 3 tbsp of olive oil. Toss to coat the carrots evenly. Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper over the carrots, and toss again to ensure even seasoning.
4. Roast the Carrots:
Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through cooking.
5. Prepare the Mustard and Herb Mix:
While the carrots are roasting, in a small bowl, mix together 2 tsp of mustard, 1/2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 tbsp of chopped fresh dill.
6. Combine and Serve:
Once the carrots are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Immediately toss the hot carrots with the prepared mustard and herb mix until they are well coated.
7. Final Touch:
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve warm as a side dish.

Tips:

- For even cooking, cut the carrots into similar sizes so they roast evenly.

- Consider preheating the baking sheet in the oven before adding the carrots. This helps the carrots to caramelize better.

- Add a sprinkle of lemon zest just before serving for a zesty finish.

- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for variation in flavor.

- Make sure to toss the carrots halfway through roasting to ensure they cook uniformly on all sides.

Roasting carrots with mustard and herbs elevates their natural sweetness while adding a depth of flavor that makes them irresistible. This dish is sure to become a favorite at your table, offering a perfect side that pairs well with various main courses. Enjoy the delightful blend of textures and tastes in each bite.
