Ingredients

12 medium to large carrots trimmed and peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
1¼ teaspoons kosher salt (not table salt)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped herbs such as dill or parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Then slice the carrots diagonally in 1½-inch-thick pieces.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Rearrange them to a single layer.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender and browned.
Gently toss the cooked carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste if necessary, and serve. (Alternatively, you can toss them with brown sugar - so yummy!)
