Barefoot Contessa's Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

• 12 carrots
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh dill or flat leaf parsley, minced

Directions

1. 1

   If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave them whole.

3. 3

   Slice the carrots diagonally into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will get smaller while cooking, so make the slices big.)

4. 4

   Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. 5

   Place on a baking sheet in one layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

6. 6
