Caramelized carrots are one of the great flavors in the world. That they are so easy to make is just a bonus.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Slice the carrots crosswise on the diagonal about ½ inch thick. Make sure all pieces are approximately the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Place carrots on prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and thyme over carrots and cover with foil.
- Roast 5 to 7 minutes covered. Remove foil and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until caramelized and tender.
