Step 2

Perform a roll cut by placing a carrot on the cutting board, parallel to the edge facing you.  Hold your knife at a 45-degree angle to the carrot. Cut off the end, then roll the carrot slightly so that the cut you just made faces straight up. Keeping the knife at a 45° angle to the carrot, continue making cuts every inch or so, rolling the carrot in between each cut. You will end up with pieces in an odd diamond shape, which will roast evenly even though they came from thicker and thinner parts of the carrot.
