Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform 2-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
Roasting
  1. In a large bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them to allow for proper roasting.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through for even browning.
Serving
  1. Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary with the salt and pepper before roasting. These carrots are also delicious with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting.
