Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Herbs

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs rainbow carrots, halved lengthwise
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   Toss halved carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Arrange the carrots cut-side down on a baking sheet — starting them cut-side down like this maximizes the amount of flat surface making direct contact with the hot pan, giving deeper, more even caramelization than the rounded, curved side of the carrot ever develops on its own.

4. 4

   Roast 20 minutes cut-side down, then flip and roast 10 more minutes until tender and caramelized.

5. 5

   Scatter fresh thyme leaves over the top before serving.
