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:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If not already done, peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure they cook evenly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
