Ingredients for 5 Spice Carrots

How to Make 5 Spice Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel 1 pound of carrots and cut them lengthwise in half. Then, cut each half diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces, aiming for consistent size.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of five-spice powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Mix thoroughly with your hands, ensuring all carrots are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the carrots in a single layer in a baking dish.
  7. Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing halfway through (around 15-20 minutes) with tongs to ensure even browning.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
