Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Peel and slice 2 pounds carrots diagonally, then place them in a large bowl.
Melt ¼ cup unsalted butter in a microwavable bowl. Add ⅓ cup brown sugar , 2 teaspoons minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir until combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the carrots in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir the carrots in the pan. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
