Prepare the oven and baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil, harissa, honey, cumin, and salt until evenly coated.
Roast the carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
Add the final touch: Remove the carrots from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and gently toss everything together before serving.
