Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425℉ (or 220℃) and spray the bottom of a large, rimmed metal baking sheet pan.
Add the carrots to the pan, spray lightly with olive oil and spread evenly on the pan. Roast on the middle rack for 18 to 20 minutes. Or until tender and caramelized in spots.*
Meanwhile, add the butter, garlic and salt to a deep-sided skillet. Stir and melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the garlic is sizzling, cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan off of the heat.
When the carrots are finished roasting, transfer them to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to combine.
Serve with minced fresh parsley and lots of freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

*If for some reason or another your carrots don’t caramelize, move them up in your oven and turn on the broiler. Watch carefully!
