Equipment

Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 2 lbs. Carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. Fresh thyme, minced

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. Salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and peel the carrots if desired. Cut them into 1/2-inch pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

- Sprinkle salt over the carrots and add ground black pepper to taste. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them to allow for proper roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown. You may want to toss the carrots halfway through the cooking time for even caramelization.
- Once the carrots are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
