Ingredients
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them diagonally into approximately 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Try to make sure all the pieces are roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
Step 3
Place the carrot slices onto a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots, then sprinkle on the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the carrots with your hands or a spatula until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. The carrots should be tender and lightly caramelized by the end of the cooking time.
Step 6
Remove the carrots from the oven. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the roasted carrots before serving for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Step 7
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
