- Space Out: Arrange the carrots in a single layer, allowing space on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- Watch Time: Monitor roasting to avoid overcooking; times may vary.
- Season to Taste: Adjust seasonings as needed, or add herbs and spices that you like.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh garlic and freshly grated parmesan.
- Reheat Properly: Use the oven or stove to reheat so as to maintain texture and flavor.
- Prepare Carrots Ahead Of Time: Roast the carrots in the oven a day before you need them, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve them, spread the carrots out on a rimmed baking sheet and reheat them in a 425°F oven for 5 minutes.
- Storing Leftovers: You can keep any leftover carrots in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
