- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces for even cooking.

Add the sliced carrots to the bowl and toss them in the herb-oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, zesty kick.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
