Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots or small, tender carrots work best for this recipe. Avoid large, thick carrots, as they may take longer to cook and may not caramelize as well.
- Use a good quality brandy: The quality of the brandy you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Choose a brandy that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will be concentrated during the cooking process.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the carrots from caramelizing properly.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still slightly firm. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Baked brandy carrots are best served immediately, while they are still warm and caramelized. They can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Baked brandy carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are roasted until tender and caramelized, and then tossed in a flavorful brandy glaze. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and nutritious way to enjoy carrots.
