To roast these carrots, preheat your oven to a moderate temperature. Toss the carrots with a little oil, such as olive oil or vegetable oil. You can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until they are tender when pierced with a fork and have developed some lovely browned edges. This process enhances their sweetness and creates a delightful texture.
