(Optional) For added spice...
If you want your carrots on the spicier side, now is the time to add your chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon.
(Skip Step 6) -
Toss and spread on baking sheet
Toss until the carrots are coated and then spread them out on the baking sheet.
-
Roast carrots
Arrange them in a single layer and roast until they’re caramelized on the edges, about 25–30 minutes. Be sure to carefully move the carrot slices around halfway through the roast time.
-
(Optional) For added sweetness...
If you're making the sweet version, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat while carrots are roasting. Once it's melted, whisk in honey and keep it warm over low heat. Once the carrots are cooked, place them back in a mixing bowl and drizzle the honey butter over them and toss to coat once again.

Serve
Place in a serving bowl and toss with any combination of the chopped fresh chives, green onions, and fresh rosemary as well as parsley, cilantro, or dill. Enjoy immediately!
