Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary, optional) Optional garnish to enhance flavor.
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional) For added sweetness if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. If using whole baby carrots, leave them as they are; if using standard carrots, slice them into even sticks, about ½ inch thick.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the carrots out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  3. Check for doneness; they should be tender and caramelized.
