Ingredients
2 pounds fresh carrots
2 tablespoons infused oil
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare carrots by peeling, washing, and cutting them in half lengthwise. Then cut into 3" to 4” pieces.
In a large bowl, evenly coat prepared carrots with infused oil, brown sugar, and spices.
Transfer coated carrots to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Arrange carrots in a single layer and bake for approximately 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and toss carrots. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Depending on the thickness of the carrots, you may need to toss them a third time and bake an additional 15 minutes or until carrots are tender and lightly browned.
