Instead of French Fries...

try CARROTS! Seriously, these are SO good. I never buy french fries to serve with burgers, etc. I always make these. Try them. Colin says that they are better than fries.

Roasted Carrots

12 carrots
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or flat-leaf parsley (I usually leave this part out, although I'm sure it's delicious)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

If the carrots are thick cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave them whole. Slice the carrots diagonally into 1 1/2 inch thick slices. (The carrots will get smaller while cooking, so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet in one layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.
