Description
Crispy, golden Ranch Roasted Carrots are a flavorful, fuss-free side dish made with pantry staples. They’re naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, with an herby, zesty taste that complements the natural sweetness of roasted carrots.
Ingredients
1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or coins
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cut carrots with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat thoroughly.
- Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, tender, and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Drizzle honey before roasting for a sweet-savory twist.
Sprinkle grated parmesan after roasting for a cheesy finish.
Swap ranch seasoning with Italian seasoning for a Mediterranean variation.
Air fryer method: Cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
