Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Peel carrots and onions. Cut onions in quarters, leaving root ends in tact, so that they hold the quarters together. Cut carrots into 2 - 3" pieces, and if the carrots are really fat, cut them lengthwise into halvves or quarters. (You can adjust the quanitities of everything -- it's just that the program here wants specifics.).
- Put them onto a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt and mix them with your hands so that they are lightly coated. The pan does really matter here -- if you use something with sides, they steam rather than roast.
- Roast for 15 minutes, turn and roast for 15 - 30 minutes more. At this point, they should be cooked, but they can go longer if they're not done. they should be crisp/tender (if they go longer, they get soft, which I'm starting to like, too) and have browned spots on them.

OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS AND ONIONS
The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:
- Slice carrots lengthwise, then chop into approximately 2-3" sections. If your carrots are particularly large, you may need to quarter some, just be sure your pieces are uniform for cooking.
- Slice onion into sections (however you want to. I usually chop as if making onion rings, then slice the circles in half, for long onion "strands").
- Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, then spread in a baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake at 400* until carrots are tender and onions are slightly browned. Noted cooking time is approximate, so keep an eye on these so your carrots don't become mushy!

- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
