- Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked to desired tenderness.
- While carrots are roasting, combine the melted butter, sugar-free maple syrup, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Toss the carrots with the sauce just before serving.
