Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Carrots about 4-5 medium
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet, optionally lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into uniform 1/2-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired before serving warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary with the salt and pepper before roasting.
