Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and slice the carrots into sticks or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and ground black pepper.
Add the sliced carrots to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the herb mixture.
Spread the carrots evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the carrots from the oven and toss them with lemon juice and unsalted butter until the butter melts and coats the carrots well.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, low sodium herb-infused baked carrots!
