Easy Roasted Carrots for Clean Eating Side Dish Ideas!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs farm fresh carrots roughly the same size
  • 1 tsp chili powder or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp freshly picked thyme or other herbs of choice, to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Start by preparing your seasonings by whisking together: chili powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, black pepper and sea salt in a small bowl; once combined well, set aside.
  • Peel, and rinse the carrots thoroughly.
  • Slice carrots into 1-inch thick, even, diagonal pieces as shown.
  • Add carrots to a medium bowl, sprinkle with all of the prepared seasonings and drizzle with oil. Toss carrots until really well coated with all the spices and oil.
  • Spread the carrots in a single layer onto your prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
  • Transfer the sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even roasting. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your carrots.
  • Once the carrots are fork tender and beautifully golden browned, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
  • Top with your desired herbs and enjoy!
  • Leftover carrots can be stored, covered in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and are excellent for meal prep.
