Pre heat oven to 425F. Toss the sliced carrots with olive oil salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 -15 minutes until soft but not browned. Let cool for 15 minutes before blending.
Next in a bowl of a food processor add the cooled carrots, cream, egg yolks. Blend until smooth, then stir in the dill.
