Open in Pepper →A hot oven turns humble carrots into something craveable — sugars caramelize, edges get crisp, and the middle stays sweet and tender.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when they need a side dish that feels special without any real effort — just carrots, oil, and heat.
From honey-glazed holiday spreads to weeknight sheet-pan sides, roasted carrots slot into almost any meal.
Cut on the diagonal
Diagonal cuts expose more surface area, which means more caramelization.
Hot oven or nothing
425–450°F is the sweet spot — too low and they steam instead of roast.
Don’t crowd the pan
Space them out so heat hits every side; crowded carrots turn soft.
Glaze at the end
Honey or maple can burn — brush it on in the last 5 minutes.
