Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, toss carrots with oil.
Spoon carrots onto a 15-inch square of parchment paper and wrap up like a package, folding down the top and tucking under the ends to ensure no steam escapes.
Wrap garlic snugly in foil and place both packets on a baking sheet.
Roast until carrots and garlic are very tender, about 25 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, carefully open foil and squeeze garlic out of its papery skin into a medium bowl.
Mash with a fork to make a smooth paste.
Transfer hot carrots, along with any accumulated juices, to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
The carrots will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
