ROASTED BABY CARROTS
1 pound baby carrots
1 tablespoon oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
Line a small baking pan with heavy foil or nonstick foil. Put the carrots in the pan and drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat well then spread them in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Roast at 475º for 12 minutes; stir them around then bake for another 4 minutes and stir again. Bake 4-7 more minutes or until carrots are tender and nicely browned. Adjust the seasoning as needed to taste.

This comes from the America's Test Kitchen "Perfect Vegetables" book. They didn't line their pan with foil, but I didn't want to have to scrub a baking pan so I used nonstick foil. My carrots took a little longer to brown than the recipe said, but only by about 3 minutes or so.
