Roasted Carrots

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

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)

Directions

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.
