Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter swap for vegan butter to keep it dairy-free
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional for extra caramel notes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  • In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper until coated.
  • Spread carrots on the baking sheet, roast for 15 minutes, flip, add herbs, roast for another 8-10 minutes until tender.
  • If using, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the carrots and return to the oven for 2 minutes to glaze.
  • Transfer to a platter, garnish with extra herbs, and serve hot.

Notes

Choose firm, crisp carrots with vibrant skins. For faster cleanup, use parchment and slide onto a cooling rack. Adjust roast time if using baby carrots or thicker pieces.
