Ingredients

  • 1 pound Baby Carrots
  • 1 pkg Ranch Seasoning Mix

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  • Spread the baby carrots into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the top and toss until all the carrots are well coated.
  • Arrange the carrots back into an even, single layer.
  • Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are fork-tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

 
Recipe Tips
  • Oven Temperature - If you would like the edges to be crispy, increase the oven temperature to 425 for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
  • Use Fresh Carrots - Make sure to use firm carrots and not limp carrots. The fresher the better when making this recipe. Rainbow carrots taste great and look pretty in this recipe.
  • Excess Moisture - Baby Carrots often have water in the bag and sometimes this leaves a residue. Make sure to remove any excess moisture and rinse the carrots before baking.
  • Ranch Seasoning - We used Hidden Valley ranch seasoning mix but feel free to use store brand or anything you prefer.

Variations Ideas

  • Glaze - You can easily make a glaze made of honey and brown sugar in a saucepan and pour over the carrots for an extra flavor of sweetness.
  • Spices - You can easily use other types of seasoning for a delicious variation. Add fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary.
