  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 1 lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the baby carrots to the bowl, tossing to coat them evenly with the garlic herb mixture.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

💡 Chef's Notes

Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish, drizzle with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs for added color. Serve warm as a beautiful side dish!
