    Roasting the Carrots

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the baby carrots with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

    Making the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
