Drizzle olive oil over the carrots to coat them lightly.

Add kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Add rosemary as the herb of choice, but suggest thyme or oregano as alternatives.

Quickly dump the carrots onto the hot sheet pan in a single layer to ensure they get crispy.

After 5-7 minutes, check the carrots to ensure they are not burning or sticking, then return them to the oven.

Roast for another 5-7 minutes until done, then remove from the oven and plate them.
