• Preheat your oven to 400 and prep a rimmed baking sheet for nonstick. Place the carrots in a large bowl and add one tablespoon of the oil to the bowl (this is actually easier if you drizzle the oil over the carrots). Toss the carrots in the oil.

If you are using baby carrots you may need adjust the baking time as needed.
