Ingredients

Instructions

1.  Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. In large bowl, combine carrots with butter,  teaspoon salt, and  teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Transfer carrots to foil- or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread in single layer.                                                     (I just used the pan – no foil/parchment)
2. Cover baking sheet tightly with foil and cook for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue to cook, stirring twice, until carrots are well browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to serving platter, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
