Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Peel the carrots, halve them lengthwise, then cut crosswise into three pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  • Note: Carrot pieces should be approximately 3/8-inch thick by 2-1/2 inches long. You may need to cut the thicker end lengthwise a second time to achieve uniform size.
  • Combine the sugar, five-spice powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle the carrots with the sesame oil and butter, sprinkle with seasonings and toss to coat thoroughly.
  • Arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 18 to 25 minutes, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized. Serve immediately.
