Notes
*Look for carrots that are fairly even in length and girth so they'll cook more evenly. You can either scrub or peel the carrots; the roasting process will be the same either way. If you want a prettier presentation, buy carrots with the green tops still attached and trim them down before roasting.
**You can substitute the olive oil with your favorite cooking oil.
