Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and peel carrots and trim off edges if desired.

Step 2

Cut each carrot into three pieces and then cut each piece in half so there is a flat side. Lay carrots, flat side down in a metal baking sheet with sides.

Step 3

In a small bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and brown sugar. Start with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and if you prefer sweeter carrots, add more to taste.

Step 4

Pour vinegar mixture over the carrots and gently tip the pan side to side so that the mixture gets under the carrots.

Step 5

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then roast for 15-20 minutes or until balsamic mixture has thickened and carrots are a deep golden brown and tender. Garnish with some parsley. Serve immediately.
