Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds carrots, trimmed, peeled, and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces (I used tri-colored carrots but you can use all orange)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  • Add the carrots to the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with olive oil, and evenly sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and toss with your hands to evenly coat.
  • Arrange the carrots in a flat layer with space between the pieces if possible and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until carrots are lightly caramelized around the edges and fork-tender. Baking times will vary based on the size of carrots and personal preference for doneness.
  • Stir and flip halfway through baking to ensure all sides cook evenly.
  • Evenly sprinkle with parsley, evenly drizzle with optional lemon juice (brightens up the dish), and serve immediately.
