Carrots. I recommend whole organic carrots to make this recipe. Rainbow carrots are also fun to use for a colorful carrot side dish. You can use baby carrots as well, you will just need to bake them longer.
Olive Oil. Any neutral oil, such as canola oil or avocado oil, works well in this recipe. I also love using flavor-infused olive oils (like garlic or herb olive oil), for extra flavor!
Sea Salt. Use pure, fine sea salt for the best results!
Paprika. Both regular and smoked paprika taste amazing in this oven roasted carrots recipe!
Garlic Powder. Granulated garlic also works well!
Black Pepper. Use freshly ground black pepper for the best results!
