Roasted Carrots with Parsley and Thyme
Equipment
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 8-12 carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- drizzle of combined honey and melted butter 1 tablespoon each, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise. In a small bowl combine olive oil and thyme and brush over the carrots; turning to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
- This step is optional, but if you like carrots on the sweet side, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan until lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey.
- When the carrots are tender, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. While still hot, drizzle with the honey butter, if you like, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
