  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes for thinner carrots or 35-40 minutes for thicker carrots or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. Turn the carrots once, half way through baking, so they are baked evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the carrots warm with fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish.

Tips
