Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large roasting pan by lightly oiling it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Wash, peel, and trim the carrots; cut them into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared roasting pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Use two pans if necessary.
  5. Roast for 30-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary. Ensure carrots are spread in a single layer for best roasting results.
