Tender, sweet carrots roasted until perfectly caramelized, tossed with fragrant garlic and fresh herbs. An incredibly simple, versatile, and delicious side dish for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared carrots, olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned carrots in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they roast and caramelize rather than steam.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the carrots and toss gently to combine.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and have golden-brown, caramelized edges.
Remove from the oven. Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving platter, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
