Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet used for roasting carrots evenly

  • 1 Cutting board provides a safe surface for chopping
  • 1 Measuring spoons for accurate seasoning amounts
  • 1 Oven needed for roasting at high heat

Ingredients

  • 1.4 kg carrots peeled and trimmed cut evenly for consistent roasting
  • 50 g brown sugar adds a deep caramel sweetness
