3-Step Execution Protocol

Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Arrange carrots (roasted, cut) (Whole peeled carrots halved lengthwise or cut into 1/2-inch sticks, tossed in oil, thyme, and salt) on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer. Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

Cook & Flip

Cook for 25–30 mins. Flip at the 15-minute mark for even browning.

Check & Rest

Deeply wrinkled, caramelized golden-brown edges; tender when pierced with a knife. Rest for 1 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Roast cut-side down first; the flat surface concentrates carrot sugars against the hot metal into sweet candy-like edges.
