Steps

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

2. Step 2

   Wash and peel the carrots, and slice them on a diagonal into 1½ inch pieces, trying to keep the pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.

3. Step 3

   Add the carrots to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with ¾ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until every piece is lightly coated.

4. Step 4

   Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece. If the pan looks crowded, divide the carrots between two pans.

5. Step 5

   Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, or until the carrots are just tender and starting to brown on the bottoms.

6. Step 6

   Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the carrots with maple syrup. Gently toss right on the pan to coat, then return them to the oven for 4 to 6 minutes more, or until the carrots are caramelized and fork tender.

7. Step 7

   Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley if using, and serve warm.
