Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat – Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper
- Step 2: Prep vegetables – Peel carrots and cut into uniform sticks, trim green bean ends
- Step 3: Season – Toss vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in large bowl
- Step 4: Arrange – Spread seasoned vegetables in single layer on prepared baking sheet
- Step 5: Roast – Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time
- Step 6: Serve – Remove when vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, serve immediately
Notes
- Cut carrots and green beans to similar sizes for even cooking – aim for 3-inch pieces to ensure uniform doneness
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet as this creates steam instead of roasting, preventing proper caramelization
- Use fresh vegetables whenever possible as frozen ones release excess moisture and won’t achieve the same crispy texture
- Test doneness by piercing with a fork – vegetables should be tender but still have slight resistance
