Add the carrots to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and add the seasonings. Toss to coat.
Spread the seasoned carrots on a large baking sheet. Make sure to arrange them in a single layer with a little room to breathe around each carrot so they roast properly.

Recipe Notes
Adjusting the Scale:If you want to prepare more or less of the carrots as called for in the recipe card, just be sure that you do not overcrowd your baking sheet. The carrots should be on a single layer with some space between each piece to properly char and roast. If your pan is overcrowded, they will steam instead.Serving Tips:The carrots are delicious warm out of the oven or even at room temperature if you'd like to include them in a salad. They are best the day they are made.
