Cut the carrots into 1 ½ - 2” long pieces.
Place the cut carrots into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for ab 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender. Drain and let sit in the drainer for about 10 minutes to drain any excess water and cool slightly.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the boiled carrots onto the prepared baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass to smash the carrots down. Do this to every carrot piece.
Brush the smashed carrots with olive oil, then sprinkle each one with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
