  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Roasting
  1. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Notes

For added flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the carrots before roasting. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey can also enhance their sweetness.
