Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- 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.

- Sprinkle the herb-ranch seasoning blend evenly over the carrots. Toss again to ensure a uniform coating.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
