OVEN-BAKED TENDER CARROTS
I came up with this recipe so that I could make carrots with roast. I cook my roast in the crock pot, but don't like to cook my veggies with it, as they soak up all of the juice and end up with a terrible flavor. So I kind of came up with my own recipe, and it works great. Now I use this recipe any time I want to have carrots as a side dish with dinner. It goes well with lots of meat dishes, and it's easy to make. If you don't want to mess with peeling and chopping carrots, use baby carrots. I use the same recipe with potatoes, but they don't need to cook as long. If you are making this with roast or any other meat that has made its own broth, you can use that instead of beef broth from the can. I always eyeball this recipe so the measurements are approximations.

Steps:
- Place carrots in oven-safe baking dish with lid.
- Pour in some beef broth (I tend to eyeball it, but the more carrots, the more broth you want--anywhere from 1/2 c to 1 c).
- Add salt, pepper, garlic any seasonings you wish and stir to coat carrots in seasonings and broth.
- Add the butter on top.
- Cover, and cook at 400 degrees for 45 min-1 hour, depending on how many carrots you are making. When they are done, the carrots will be soft and tender enough to poke a fork through easily.
- Follow the same recipe for potatoes, but allow less cooking time.

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: Select carrots that are fresh, firm, and have a bright orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of skin.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or even crinkle-cut them for a fun presentation.
- Toss the carrots with olive oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet: Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the carrots hot or at room temperature: Roasted carrots can be served hot or at room temperature. They are a delicious side dish for roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even a simple salad.
