Do you want to learn how to make yummy baked carrots? It’s super easy and fun! Just follow these steps, and you’ll have delicious roasted carrots in no time.
First, ask an adult to help you preheat the oven to 400°F. While the oven is warming up, wash your carrots to make sure they’re clean. Then, peel the carrots to remove the outer skin. After that, slice the carrots into pieces that are about the same size. This helps them cook evenly.
Now it’s time to make your carrots tasty! Put the carrot slices in a bowl and drizzle some olive oil over them. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top. If you like extra flavors, you can add garlic powder or your favorite herbs, like thyme or rosemary. Mix everything together so the carrots are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Take a baking sheet and spread the seasoned carrots out in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t piled on top of each other. This helps them cook better. Put the baking sheet in the oven and let the carrots bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they are tender and have a light brown color.
Once your carrots are done, take them out of the oven (with an adult’s help) and let them cool for a bit. Now you can enjoy your delicious roasted carrots! They’re a healthy and tasty snack or side dish.
Did you know that carrots are not only orange? They can also be purple, yellow, red, and white! Each color has its own special nutrients that are good for you.
Colorful Carrot Exploration: Visit a local grocery store or farmer’s market with an adult and look for different colored carrots. Can you find purple, yellow, or red carrots? Take a picture or draw them in your notebook. Once you have them, try baking each color using the steps from the article. Do they taste different? Write down your observations about the taste and texture of each color.
Carrot Growth Experiment: With the help of an adult, cut the top off a carrot and place it in a shallow dish of water. Put the dish in a sunny spot and watch what happens over the next few days. Draw or write about the changes you see. This will help you understand how carrots grow and what they need to thrive.
Flavor Mix and Match: Create your own seasoning mix for baked carrots. Choose from different herbs and spices like cinnamon, cumin, or dill. Mix small amounts of each with olive oil and try them on separate batches of carrot slices. Which combination do you like best? Share your favorite recipe with your family and friends.
