Ingredients:

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. Add the peeled and trimmed carrots to the bowl, tossing them in the balsamic mixture until they are evenly coated.

  4. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, turning them halfway through cooking.

  6. Once the carrots are roasted to your desired doneness, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.

  8. Serve the balsamic roasted carrots hot as a flavorful and colorful side dish, and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors!
