Ingredients
- 800 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them diagonally into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch thick and 1 1/2 inches long.
Step 3
Place the carrot pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and garlic powder to the carrots.
Step 5
Toss the carrots with the oil and seasonings, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure there's some space between the pieces to allow for even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through.
Step 8
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
