Easy Ranch Baby Carrots
Made with homemade Ranch seasoning and roasted to crisp-tender perfection. And all you need is 5 min prep and one pan. How easy!
What kind of Easter would it be without some baby carrots, right?
Now I know that Easter prep can be quite a handful so this here is one of the easiest side dishes you will ever have to make with just 5-minute prep. All you need is a single baking sheet and some pantry herbs. That’s it. And you can toss everything right onto the baking sheet because why bother dirtying another bowl?
In 20 minutes time, you’ll have the most amazing crisp-tender carrots roasted to absolute perfection. Best of all, you can play around with the herbs that you see fit to suit your preferences. It doesn’t get easier (or simpler) than that!

Mmmm roasted carrots are delicious 😀 The leftovers of this (not that there will be any left) makes for the perfect snack 😀 Thanks for sharing, and have a lovely Easter! x
Could this be done in a crock pot?
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to give exact conversion information to translate a traditional stovetop recipe to be used in a slow cooker without further recipe testing. However, here is an article worth checking out on a possible conversion guide: http://www.thekitchn.com/5-tips-for-converting-recipes-to-the-slow-cooker-189343.
I’m soooo glad I found your website with your wonderful recipes!! Thanks.
I am obsessed with roasted carrots, so can’t wait to add these to Easter Dinner!!
These look super delicious and addictive!
I’ll be making this recipe for my husband who loves carrots. I love that the Ranch mix is all-natural. Thanks, Chungah!
I ALWAYS DIP my carrots in ranch dressing, but I have never thought to actually roast them in ranchy-inspired spices! I love this grown up version of my childhood snackage! Pinned!
Idea- place olive oil in zip-lock bag, add carrots and toss to coat; transfer to second zip-lock bag containing dry ingredients, toss again. Transfer to silicone covered baking sheet, minimal clean up.
This seasoning mix would also work well with small potatoes and/or sweet potatoes (peeled and diced).
Thank you for the idea.
Elizabeth, what a great idea! But there’s really no need for Ziplocs here. You can toss everything right on the pan!
Love your website Chunga.
What a great looking side dish for a variety of dinners! My husband will only eat cooked carrots, so I appreciate having another recipe!
So glad you posted this recipe. I bought a bag or baby carrots yesterday, simply because they were on offer and they wouldn’t have cost me any extra. I had no idea what to do with them, so you have solved my problem! These will be appearing in my easter table tomorrow! Thanks!
