Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the baby carrots. If any carrots are larger in size, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby carrots, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with a few additional thyme sprigs.
Serve warm and enjoy!
