Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 12 petite heirloom carrots, peeled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small sprig of thyme, leaves only
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp good balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 
  • Drizzle the carrots with olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to coat evenly.
  • Place carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. 
  • Roast for 20 minutes, tossing them halfway through cooking time or until fork-tender. Side Note: My carrots were petite and not very thick. If yours are bigger, you will need to cook for a bit longer, until they are fork-tender. 
  • Meanwhile, combine the balsamic vinegar with the minced garlic; set aside until needed. 
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the balsamic/garlic mixture on top of the carrots; toss with a spatula to coat evenly.
  • Return to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes. 
  • Place on a serving plate and sprinkle with a bit of fresh parsley and more sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
