Carrots go gourmet. You’ll send your carrot pic to your friends. And it’s delicious. A roast chicken has never been happier sharing the plate. I did roast them uncovered for 10 minutes but then put alum foil loosely over for the remaining time. I did not serve immediately as a I made them ahead. Delish
