Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 300 g Baby carrots
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any yellowed outer leaves and cutting them in half. Wash and peel the baby carrots if necessary.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.

Step 5

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and have slightly crisp, caramelized edges.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze. If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts and baby carrots to a serving bowl or platter. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
