Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 1 pound carrots, about 1 large or 2 medium bunches, cut into 2-inch barrels
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil, honey, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
Transfer the carrots to the baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Roast for 15 to 25 minutes, or until fork-tender and lightly browned but not mushy. The timing will depend on the size of your carrots.
Remove from the oven and season to taste. Garnish with parsley and serve.
