Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them diagonally into uniform pieces, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the carrot pieces with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and have a golden, caramelized surface.
Step 6
Remove the carrots from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice to add freshness and a hint of acidity.
Step 7
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a light, healthy snack.
