The method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut thick carrots into quarters so all pieces are a similar thickness.

  2. 02

    Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  3. 03

    Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until nearly tender and browned at the edges.
