Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 2-inch-thick slices.
- Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together brown sugar, orange juice, and salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
- After 15 minutes, remove carrots from the oven. Brush (or drizzle) brown sugar mixture over the carrots; stir to coat, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes (or until browned and tender). You will not need all of the glaze (probably only 1-2 tablespoons will actually be used), so set aside the extra and drizzle a little bit more over the roasted carrots just before serving.
- Season with additional salt, to taste.
Notes
- Cut all carrots to roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Preheat the oven before roasting or the cooking time will change.
- Make sure to spread the carrots evenly in one layer on a baking sheet so they roast evenly.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning as desired.
- You can easily prep these carrots in advance by peeling them and storing them in the fridge, covered until ready to bake.
- Cooking for a Smaller Family? You can cut all of the ingredients in half and only roast 1 lb. of carrots. The roasting instructions remain the same.
