Of course, the dish also works with carrots of the same color. However, since the different varieties not only look different but also taste different, it’s more flavorful to combine different varieties. Peel the carrot and, depending on their length and thickness, cut into pieces about the size of your finger. Thin carrots are simply halved lengthwise, while thick ones are quartered. In a freezer bag, mix all the remaining ingredients except the oil until the sugar and salt are dissolved, then add the carrots and let rest briefly. During this time, preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a large baking dish or line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the carrots in the dish or on the baking tray, brush with oil, and place in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 25 minutes. Because of the sugar, check the carrots occasionally to make sure they don’t get too brown. The colorful roasted carrots make a great side dish to meat and potatoes, and leftovers taste great pickled as an antipasti.
