1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, optional, to garnish

Notes

*The roasting time will vary depending on your oven, the tray you’ve chosen, and how thickly you’ve sliced the carrots. Pay attention to visual and tactile cues. The carrots should be soft on the inside, with a crispy exterior and caramelized, golden brown edges.
