Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch diagonal pieces

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with a silicone

In a small bowl, mix together the oil, orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, ginger, honey, and salt.
Place the carrots on the prepared sheet pan, pour the dressing over the carrots and toss until coated. Spread the carrots out as much as possible on the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, stir, spread out the carrots again, and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and browned around the edges.
