Roasted Carrots

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2
   If the carrots are really thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave as is. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Place carrots on a sheet pan in one layer and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
3. 3
   Toss the carrots with minced parsley, season to taste, and serve.
