Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.)

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

COCONUT CEREAL-TREAT CARROTS
