Ingredients
For Roasted Carrots:
1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
For Green Beans:
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat: Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep vegetables: Peel carrots and cut into sticks, trim green beans.
Season: Toss vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Arrange: Spread seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast: Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time.
Serve: Remove when vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Serve immediately.
Notes
Cut carrots and green beans to similar sizes for even cooking – aim for 3-inch pieces for uniform doneness.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper caramelization.
Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
Test doneness by piercing with a fork – vegetables should be tender but slightly firm.
