Herb-Roasted Carrots (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Herbs & Seasonings

01 - 1 teaspoon black pepper, adjust to taste
02 - 1 teaspoon salt, season as needed
03 - 2-3 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
05 - 2-3 teaspoons finely minced rosemary

→ Liquids

06 - 2 teaspoons optional lemon juice
07 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

→ Root Vegetables

08 - 2 pounds of peeled and trimmed carrots (any color works), sliced on a diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces

# Instructions:

01 - Place carrot pieces on the prepared pan, coat with some olive oil, toss with rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands to make sure everything's covered.
02 - Turn your oven on to 450°F (230°C), and cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleaning up a breeze.
03 - Spread the carrots out in one layer on the pan, leaving enough space around each piece so they caramelize properly.
04 - Pop the carrots in the oven to roast for about 30-35 minutes. Give them a stir at the halfway point, flipping them over so they cook evenly. Carrots should be tender and have lightly caramelized edges when done.
05 - Sprinkle over freshly chopped parsley and add a splash of lemon juice, if you like the tang. Serve warm!

# Notes:

01 - Cooking time might change based on the size of your carrot slices or the texture you prefer.
