ROASTED CARROTS

INGREDIENTS:

12 Carrots

3 TBS Olive Oil

1 1/4 TSP Salt

1/2 TSP Ground Black Pepper

2 TBS dill or parsley (dried)  

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 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.
