Ingredients

12 carrots
3 tbsp good olive oil
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
2 tbsp minced fresh dill OR 2 teaspoons dried dill

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel carrots or just give them a good scrub. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole.
Slice the carrots diagonally into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, or however big you want them, really. Just make sure the carrots are roughly the same size and shape so they cook at the same rate. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so big slices are fine. You will just have to up your roasting time.)
Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried dill, if you don’t have fresh.
Transfer to a baking sheet (I lined mine with foil for easy clean up) and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until they are brown and fork-tender. The roasting time depends on how big your carrots are. If you are using fresh dill, toss the carrots with the minced dill after they are roasted, season to taste, and serve.
