Ingredients
- 3 bunches thin carrots
- 2 to 3 tsp O Organics® coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 handful of fresh mint rolled and sliced thinly (this is called chiffonade)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°. Trim tops off carrots, leaving 1 inch of green stem attached. If any carrots are thicker than the rest, slice those in half lengthwise.
- Place carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle on coconut oil and toss so that all carrots are coated. Sprinkle with salt, lemon zest and ginger. Toss again and arrange back so that all carrots are in a single layer. Place any halved carrots cut-side-down on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until carrots are caramelized and fork-tender. Remove from oven, arrange on serving platter and sprinkle with sliced mint, garnishing with more mint on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips: 1. Use rainbow carrots for another beautiful spring presentation. 2. Swap lemon zest for grated garlic for a deeper, delicious flavor. 3. Roast a little longer for more tender carrots and a little shorter for crunchier ones.
