Preheat the oven to 375°F. Meanwhile, take the garlic cloves and remove their skin, then mince them very well and place the minced garlic in a separate small bowl. Afterward, wash and peel the carrots' skin and cut them into medium-long slices.
In the small bowl with the minced garlic, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and dried oregano. Mix everything so the ingredients combine well. When done, transfer the whole duck to a tray with a baking sheet and proceed with rubbing the mixture onto the duck skin, being careful not to miss a spot.
On the same tray, add the cut carrots around the seasoned duck. Sprinkle the carrots with olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano. Bake everything for around 2 hours, until the duck reaches a beautiful golden color and the skin becomes crispier. When done, remove the duck from the oven, let it cool down for a bit, and serve the dish with the desired side dishes. Enjoy!

You can add more seasonings if desired, for example, dried thyme, black pepper, and even a pinch of paprika. Experiment and improvise the way you want!
This dish can be served with more baked vegetables, such as asparagus or cauliflower. Do not forget to season the vegetables. The more vegetables, the tastier the meal is!
