Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/2 inch thick for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks with olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated in the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the carrots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
