Servings: 5 servings
Calories: 236kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes - halved
- 1 pound carrots - peeled and sliced into 2-inch pieces, see notes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic - minced, see notes
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer all of the ingredients to the prepared baking sheet or baking pan. Gently toss everything together until completely combined, then spread everything out in a single layer (use two baking sheets if necessary).
- Bake for 20 minutes, then gently toss the veggies and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and both the carrots and potatoes are fork-tender throughout (see notes).
- Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
Notes
- If the carrots are extra thick, consider slicing them into smaller 1-inch pieces. You can also make this recipe with bagged baby carrots, although I think large carrots taste better.
- The fresh garlic can be swapped for approximately 1/2-1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- If the dried herbs and garlic start to burn, you can tent the baking pan or casserole dish with a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- Feel free to include additional veggies like diced parsnips, Brussels sprouts, or pearl onions.
- Optional garnishes: Sometimes, I'll finish these potatoes and carrots with a dusting of freshly grated parmesan cheese or a drizzle of melted butter.
- Storage: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container. Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
