Roasted Ranch Carrots are both parts easy and delicious. The best of both worlds when you need a quick side that tastes great too. Carrots, olive oil, ranch seasoning. Easy recipe. Plus, with only 3 ingredients these fall under the healthy category. 

What are Roasted Ranch Carrots?

Roasted Ranch Carrots are exactly what the name says, carrots tossed in ranch seasoning and then roasted until soft. 

Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in carrots and mixed with the saltiness of the Hidden valley Ranch seasoning, it’s a perfect little veggie side dish. My favorite part of roasting veggies is always the slightly caramelized and crispy bits. The best part. 

Why I Know You'll Love these Ranch Roasted Carrots

  • Only takes 30 minutes to make these Roasted Ranch Carrots. 
  • Only 3 ingredients
  • Kids will actually eat these
  • Pairs well with any meal
  • Make Roasted Ranch Carrots in the Oven or the Air fryer. 

What 3 Ingredients will I Need?

These Roasted Ranch Carrots are both delicious and easy to make. All you need is 3 ingredients. 

  • Carrots- I used a bag of mini carrots but y9u can also use whole carrots and cut them into bites or strips. 
  • Olive Oil- you are going to use a nice big drizzle to cover those carrots. Avocado Oil works really well too. 
  • Ranch Seasoning- I use the packets of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning but you can use the shaker or make your own too

Air Fryer or Oven?

Both! Yet another great option for this recipe is the choice to decide what cooking method works best for you. 

I used the oven to cook Roasted Carrots for years and they always turned out amazing. And then came the air fryer and changed the game. I still love using the oven to roast veggies but the air fryer is quick to heat up and quick to cook. The carrots still get the very important and necessary caramelized and crispy bits, too. 

Oven- 400 degrees, parchment lined or nonstick spray jelly roll cooking sheet, roast for about 20 minutes until soft

Air Fryer- 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes until soft

Tips For Making Roasted Ranch Carrots

  • Carrots- you can use baby carrots, sticks, wedges, anything. If you use full size carrots, cut the pieces on a diagonal and no thicker than 2 inches
  • Make your own ranch seasoning- parsley, dill, garlic, onion, salt, pepper
  • Olive oil and avocado work well in this recipe
