Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/2-inch thick for even cooking.
Place the cut carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl with carrots. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the carrot pieces are coated evenly.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. Add the herbs to the bowl and mix well to distribute them evenly over the carrots.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the carrots for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Halfway through baking, stir the carrots to ensure even roasting on all sides.
Remove the baked carrots from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful paleo-friendly side dish to complement your meals.
