A delightful side dish featuring roasted carrots with a sesame glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into evenly sized sticks.
Uniform sizes help the carrots cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Ensure all carrots are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking tray.
Avoid overcrowding the tray to allow proper roasting.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring ensures even roasting and prevents sticking.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the roasted carrots and serve warm.
Adding sesame seeds at the end preserves their crunch and flavor.
