Notes
For Uniform Cooking: Chop or slice the carrots into pieces of similar size to guarantee that they cook evenly throughout.
Perfect Roasting: Lay out the carrots in one layer on your baking sheet. This spacing allows them to brown nicely and become delightfully crispy.
Optimal Roasting Temperature: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This high heat ensures the carrots develop a crisp exterior while remaining tender inside.
