Spread the carrots on a large baking sheet and pour half of the orange juice mixture over the carrots, tossing to combine. With carrots in an even layer, add to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelized, tossing the carrots halfway.
While the carrots are in the oven, make the yogurt sauce. Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk well to combine.
When the carrots are done cooking, pour the remaining orange juice mixture over them, tossing gently to distribute it evenly.
