Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Fresh Carrots Provides natural sweetness and color; substitute with parsnips for a different flavor.
  • 1 lb Fresh Green Beans Adds crunch and freshness; frozen beans can be used if properly thawed and dried.
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for moisture and promoting crispness; can be substituted with avocado oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds savory depth; fresh minced garlic may be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances the savory profile; shallot powder can be an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Infuses a smoky flavor; regular paprika or chili powder can replace it for a milder taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor enhancement; adjust according to taste preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a hint of spice; freshly cracked pepper is preferable for better flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley For garnish, providing a fresh finish; optional to omit.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, peel and slice the carrots into even pieces and trim the ends off the green beans. Add both the carrots and green beans to the bowl.
  4. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the carrots and green beans. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, along with ½ teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
  5. Toss the vegetables well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with olive oil and seasonings.
  6. Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
  7. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  8. For extra crunch, switch your oven setting to broil and give the veggies an additional 2-3 minutes.
  9. Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables onto a serving platter.
  10. Drizzle your Crispy Roasted Carrots and Green Beans with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.
