0.52g
2 cups carrots
490g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tbsp butter
27g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
2. Mix Seasonings:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp dried parsley, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp dill, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well to create your herb-ranch seasoning blend.
3. Prepare Carrots:
- Place 2 cups of baby carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Add Oil and Butter:
- Drizzle the carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp melted butter. Toss the carrots gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil and butter.
5. Season Carrots:
- Sprinkle the herb-ranch seasoning blend evenly over the carrots. Toss again to ensure a uniform coating.
6. Roast:
- Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
7. Garnish:
- Once the carrots are roasted, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with 2 tbsp of freshly chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
8. Serve:
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal roasting temperature.

- Ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the olive oil, butter, and seasoning mix for uniform flavor and roasting.

- For even cooking, spread the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.

- Stir the carrots halfway through the roasting process to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.

- If you prefer a slightly spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.

- Garnish the finished dish with additional fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, herb-roasted ranch baby carrots can be a standout side dish that complements a variety of main courses. The roasting process enhances the natural sweetness of the carrots, while the herb and ranch seasoning adds a layered complexity to the flavor profile.
