And any shape will work — in fact, I often roast them as carrot sticks.

But for a holiday, I love to find the thin carrots with the greens still attached because I think they look super pretty and festive!

If you can’t find them, like I said, any carrots will do. I  just recommend slicing them into smaller 1/2 inch to 1 inch long pieces.

One final thought.. I always peel my carrots but sometimes with the smaller carrots with the greens attached, you may not need too. Personal preference.

If you’ve never used thyme before, using two hands, hold the thyme in one hand and use the other hand to pull against the thyme leaves and they will fall right off. If you get a little piece or two of stem, don’t worry!

Meanwhile place the carrots in on a baking sheet and add the herbed olive oil until well coated but not dripping in olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 - 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch- 1 inch slices, if carrots are thick. I like to find the thin carrots with green tops if possible, then trim greens a bit.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt according to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Approximately 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (I used flat leaf, either will do)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Place carrots in a single layer on prepared baking sheet and gently toss with herbed olive oil. You want the carrots to be well coated but not dripping with oil.
  • Place oiled carrots on baking sheet in a single layer, with a little space between carrots and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until tender. Time will vary based on thickness of carrots.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
  • Can be enjoyed warm or room temperature.
