- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: 2 teaspoons chopped fresh green onions or parsley .
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, if desired.
To prepare your carrots, peel them and then cut them on the diagonal so each piece is about ½″ thick at the widest part.
Place the carrots on the baking sheet. Add the olive oil and salt.
Toss until the carrots are lightly coated in oil and seasonings. Arrange them in a single layer. Roast the carrots until they’re caramelized on the edges and easily pierced through by a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley if desired.
