Say goodbye to the mushy carrots of your childhood—these roasted carrots are caramelized and full of rich, savory flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Slice the carrots on the diagonal about 2-in thick. Make sure all pieces are approximately the same size to ensure even cooking.
Directly on the prepared baking sheet, toss together the carrots, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Roast, stirring once mid-way through, until nicely caramelized and tender, 20 to 25 minutes (cooking time will depend on thickness of carrots). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with more fresh thyme, if desired.
Make-Ahead Instructions: The carrots can be prepared up to 3 days ahead of time. After roasting, let the carrots cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread the carrots on a foil-lined baking sheet and warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
