Roasted Carrots

So simple, but makes such a big difference in the taste of a carrot.  Love these!


The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

Ingredients
12 carrots
3 T good olive oil
1 1/4 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 T. minced fresh dill or parsley

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

If 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 oven for 20 mins. or until browned and tender.

Toss carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

SOOOO good I have made them twice, once to meet a craving. I am not a big fan of cooked carrots either. I didn't have dill or parsley and they still were great.
