Tips & Tricks

Try and keep the carrot slices as even as possible so they cook at the same rate. If you notice a few small slices getting done before the larger ones, just remove them from the sheet pan and pop the rest back in.
Take an extra few seconds to make sure the carrots are not overlapping which helps them caramelize instead of steam.
If using fresh herbs, sprinkle them on halfway through the cooking so they do not burn.
