Basic Roasted Carrots

I hate cooked carrots, but I love these roasted baby carrots. The key is to caramelize them at a high temperature—makes them taste almost like candy. Even my four 1-year-olds give this simple recipe eight thumbs up!

2 pounds baby carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Toss carrots, oil, and salt in broiler-pan bottom. Spread into single layer and roast for 12 minutes. Shake pan to toss carrots; continue roasting about 8 minutes longer, shaking pan twice more, until carrots are brown and tender.
