Doneness
Outsides are caramelised deep orange-brown; centres are tender when pierced with a fork; carrots are sweet-edged and softened but hold their shape.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup at the halfway mark deepens the caramelisation.
Season with: salt, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, fresh thyme.
Watch out for
- Cut to even pieces. Mixed sizes cook unevenly — some burn while others stay raw.
- Whole baby carrots can stay whole but need 4 extra minutes (18 total) because of the thickness.
- Honey/maple at the halfway mark, not the start — it burns if added too early.
