Garlic and Herb Roasted Carrots – these carrots are roasted to perfection with lots of garlic and herbs such as thyme, basil and oregano, creating the perfect side dish.

Let’s talk about these garlic and herb roasted carrots. I found these fresh carrots at my local grocery store and I buy them whenever I see them, but if you can’t find these, just use regular carrots, or baby carrots work just as well too. This is an incredibly easy side dish to make and it goes perfectly with any meat you make, like a roast chicken, or pork roast. 

Maybe veggies don’t get enough love in your household, or maybe you’re a bit stuck on making them the same old ways. I know as a kid my mom used to boil the life out of our veggies and serve them up steaming and completely void of flavor! I swore to never dishonour them the same way in my own.

This ingredient list looks a little long but believe me they have all been combined to best showcase our beautiful little farmers market finds! Besides they’re all herbs! If you’re the type who has a nice big green thumb and needs a way to cook up those carrots your pulled form the garden – then these are going to be your new best friend!

Ingredients

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Carrots – Fresh carrots! I love to pick up some of these little ones from the farmers market and really showcase their sweet, perfect flavor with this dish.
  • Herbs – Dried oregano, basil, parsley, and thyme.
  • Spices – Garlic powder.
  • Seasoning – Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil – A nice neutral tasting olive to roast our veggies in.

How To Make Garlic and Herb Roasted Carrots

  1. Preheat oven: To 375 F degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Assemble the carrots: In a small bowl mix the garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper together. Sprinkle the garlic herb mixture over the carrots along with the 2 tbsp of olive oil. Toss everything together, making sure each carrot is seasoned with the garlic and herb mixture.
  3. Finish the dish: Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until fork tender.

What Can I Serve My Carrots With?

This side dish is perfect alongside some savory mains, pair them up or just eat a big bowl on their own, I won’t judge.

  • Roast Chicken
  • One Pan Roasted Honey Orange Chicken And Potatoes
  • Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon
  • Beer Can Chicken
  • Braised Lamb Shanks
  • Brined Roast Turkey Breast

Leftovers

This recipe is so easy to make and store! Just refrigerate in an airtight container and it’ll stay fresh for up to a week.

    Just finished making this recipe ahead of time for Christmas dinner. The house smelled so good. We have issues in the family regarding oregano, so I substituted savoury instead. Took them out of the oven when they were al dente. Soooo good.

    I am confused about how to get all the herbs and the olive oil on these carrots. Do you put the olive oil on the carrots first and then sprinkle the herbs on? Or do you mix the olive oil and herbs together to make a sort of paste and then spread it on the carrots? Sorry if these are dumb questions.

      Not a dumb question, either or works. The way I did it here is drizzled the olive oil over the carrots then the herbs, and then just rubbed them in.

    Carrots turned out great! I put them under broiler to make sure the outside was crisp and carrots firm. They were done in about 7 minutes…but watched them closely. Have not cooked carrots as a side dish before and loved this recipe. Really like that OO was used instead of butter to make it healthier.

    Omg I have become addicted to these carrots! I rarely ate them before as I just didn’t care for the blandness but wow. This is definitely a recipe I will use for life. I’ve already passed it on to everyone I know lol.

    They don’t look peeled but I just want to double check – no peeling, right? Just wash, season, and roast? (Seems too simple!)

      Correct, of course you could peel them if you wanted to. It is that simple. 🙂
