Step by step recipe

• 1: Peel 1 kg carrot, then wash and dry.
  If possible, use new carrots, not too large, in which case leave a small piece of the tops for aesthetic reasons.
• 2: Cut each carrot into 2 lengthwise.
  Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
• 3: In a bowl, pour 50 g olive oil, 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence and mix well.
• 4: Brush the flat side of each carrot with herb oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  Place the carrots, flat side down, on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.
  Brush the tops of the carrots with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
• 5: Place in the oven at 200°C (390°F). The carrots are cooked when they are tender, checking with the tip of a knife.
• 6: While the carrots are cooking, cut 4 slices bread into sticks, coat them evenly with herbed olive oil and place them on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.
• 7: Place in the oven on top of the carrots, 5 minutes before the end, to toast them thoroughly.
• 8: Take out the carrots and bread at about the same time, serve on a plate with a dollop of avocado mayonnaise, and invite your guests to dip the carrots and toast in the mayonnaise to enjoy.

Remarks

If you don't have any new carrots, or if they're a bit large, cut them into 4 rather than 2.
A friend of ours suggested that you place a carrot on a breadstick before dipping it in the avocado mayonnaise, so give it a try.
