Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice the carrots on an angle about three-fourths of an inch thick. Put the carrots in a baking dish that will hold them snugly in a single layer. Add garlic, oil, salt, pepper, coriander and parsley and toss all ingredients together to mix well.
- Rearrange the carrots in a single layer, then put the dish in the oven and roast until the carrots are tender and beginning to brown, which takes about 40 minutes. Turn the carrots once during roasting so they cook evenly. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, young carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or saucepan with a lid: This will help the carrots steam and cook more quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: The carrots should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Stir the carrots occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add water or broth as needed: The carrots should be covered in liquid at all times.
- Season the carrots to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic, and butter are all good options.
- Serve the carrots immediately: They are best when served hot.
