100 g of Oven-Roasted Carrots has 50 calories. It contains 11 g of carbs, 1 g of protein, 1.2 g of fat and 3 g of fiber. Its 835 µg of Vitamin A covers 93% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Oven-Roasted Carrots are made by cutting carrots into halves or thick batons, tossing them with a little oil and seasoning, then roasting until tender. The edges turn golden and lightly browned, while the centers soften and the carrots’ natural sweetness deepens. Herbs, pepper or spices can be added to suit the meal.
They’re served warm as a side with everything from roasted meat or fish to grains and legumes, or added to a vegetable-focused plate. They provide fibre and are mainly a source of carbohydrates. For a lighter version, use oil sparingly and spread the carrots in a single layer so they roast rather than steam; finish with fresh herbs or a spoonful of yogurt.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make oven-roasted carrots, cut the carrots into evenly sized pieces and toss them with a little oil, salt, and seasonings. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven until tender and browned at the edges.
No, peeling is optional for oven-roasted carrots. Scrub the carrots thoroughly under running water and trim the ends; peel them if the skin is thick, rough, or damaged.
Oven-roasted carrots turn soggy when crowded because they steam rather than roast. Dry them well, leave space between pieces, and use a large enough pan so moisture can escape and the edges can brown.
Yes, you can roast whole carrots, especially small, slender ones. Larger carrots cook more evenly if you halve them lengthwise; keep pieces similar in thickness so the thinner ends do not burn before the centers soften.
Yes, you can prepare oven-roasted carrots ahead by washing and cutting the carrots in advance. Refrigerate them in a covered container and add oil and seasonings just before roasting for better browning.
Yes, oven-roasted carrots can be frozen in an airtight container once completely cool. Their texture may be softer after thawing, so they work best reheated in the oven and added to soups, grain bowls, or other cooked dishes.
Thyme, rosemary, and parsley pair well with oven-roasted carrots. Cumin or smoked paprika gives them a warmer, savory flavor, while a little lemon juice added after roasting brightens their natural sweetness.
Oven-roasted carrots go well with roast chicken, fish, lentils, or chickpeas. They also make a good side for grain bowls; serve them with a yogurt or tahini sauce to add a creamy contrast.
Oven-roasted carrots can fit into many meals for people with diabetes; roasting does not make them a sugar-free food. Pairing a portion with protein and other high-fiber foods can make the meal more balanced. Individual glucose responses vary.
Yes, baby carrots work well for oven-roasted carrots and usually need little or no cutting. Pat them dry and spread them out on the pan; halve especially thick pieces so they cook at the same pace as the rest.
