Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil until well coated.
Step 4
Add the brown sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl, and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 5
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.
Step 6
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir them halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Remove the carrots from the oven, and let them cool for a minute or two before transferring to a serving platter.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.
