Notes
- Slice the carrots anyway you like, keeping two things in mind: Smaller cuts mean less roasting time, and also more surface area to caramelize.
- Try to slice carrots in a uniform size so that they cook evenly.
- To save time, you can use pre-peeled baby carrots for this recipe.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Parsley is a good garnish pairing for baked carrots, but other good options are cilantro, thyme, sage, or chives.
- If you want more seasoning, try cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
