Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

ROASTED CARROTS
This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the carrots in a single layer. Place the carrots in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
- Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and if the carrots are not yet tender, turn the heat down to 375 degrees and return to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes until tender. Add the parsley, stir gently, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: Peeling and cutting the carrots evenly will help them cook evenly.
- Use a quality baking dish: A good baking dish will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.

- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: Roasting the carrots at a high temperature will help to caramelize them and give them a delicious flavor.

- Add a little bit of oil or butter: Adding a little bit of oil or butter will help to prevent the carrots from sticking to the baking dish.
