    FAQs

    Do you have to peel carrots?

    Unpeeled, clean carrots are perfectly healthy. However, the peels can be slightly bitter, and they look more attractive to eat when peeled. Either way, wash well to remove dirt and debris before cooking.

    Expert Tips 

    Roasting means cooking with higher heat. Large pieces will brown and stay firm without drying out.  

    A little olive oil will prevent dry burned edges. You should coat the carrots very well before putting them in the oven. 

    A little fat also enhances the flavor of these Roasted Glazed Carrots and everything else you cook.

    If you oven has hot spots, you may want to turn the pan around at the same time you turn the carrots.
