Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 420°F.

  3. Step 3: Roast the carrots for 22 to 25 minutes, or until they are caramelized and very tender. Flip the carrots over halfway through the cooking time.
  4. Step 4: Toss the carrots with the prepared pesto until evenly coated. Add the diced avocado and pumpkin seeds.
  5. Serve: Enjoy these carrots warm or at room temperature. They make an amazing side to beans, salmon, or tossed into pesto pasta.
