Ingredients

2 bunches organic carrots about 12-16 medium-sized carrots
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
2-3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Scrub the carrots thoroughly and remove the tops. (Tip: The carrot tops can be added to green smoothies!)
Coat the carrots evenly with olive oil, then season them liberally with fresh black pepper and sea salt.
Place the carrots on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the skins start to wrinkle and the carrots are firm but can be pierced with a fork. (Note: The size of your carrots will affect the cooking time—thinner carrots will need less time.)
About 10 minutes before the carrots are done, drizzle them with honey. Carefully rock the pan to roll the carrots around and spread the honey evenly.
Continue roasting until the carrots are fork-tender, keeping a close eye on them during this last stage to prevent burning (about 10 minutes).
