In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients to prepare the marinade for the carrots.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Wash, peel and trim the carrots. Dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the carrots on top. Pour part of the marinade over the carrots, making sure to leave a tiny bit to glaze at the end. Massage the marinade over the carrots using your hands and roast for 20 minutes, until tender.
