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: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
- Peel the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Toss the carrots with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender-crisp: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but it can vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots.
- Season the carrots to taste: Once they are roasted, you can add additional seasonings, such as salt, pepper, or herbs.
