Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds carrots about 8 medium/large
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the carrots on the bias or diagonally into 2-inch pieces. Cut any pieces that are very thick in half lengthwise.
  3. Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the olive oil and toss to coat.
  4. Sprinkle the thyme over the carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly distribute the seasonings. Spread carrots out on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through the bake time, until carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve.

Notes

Store leftover roasted carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, on a pan in the oven at 375° F, or over medium-low heat in a skillet on the stove.
