These easy roasted carrots are deliciously tender and caramelized! Baking them lemon wedges and fresh thyme adds a load of flavor with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds carrots (10 to 12 medium to large carrots)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, optional
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Peel the carrots and slice them on the bias (as shown).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, thyme, and salt. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the carrots and stir to evenly coat.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the carrots in an even layer on the baking sheet. Add lemon wedges and fresh thyme to the tray, on top of the carrots.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir and roast 15 to 20 minutes more (for 35 to 40 minutes total), depending on the thickness of the carrots. Taste and add a few more pinches salt and some fresh ground pepper. Serve.

Notes

  • Honey roasted carrots variation: Toss with 1 tablespoon honey after roasting; taste and add more honey to taste if desired.
