I made these for Thanksgiving and the family said they were the best carrots they had ever had. The roasting brings out the sweetness, and cutting them the same size means they are done together and not overcooked.

Roasted Carrots, Thanksgiving Favorite on a baking sheet.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Thyme gives a fall/Thanksgiving feel to these delicious roasted carrots. The shallots add a nice punch of flavor that's a nice contrast to the sweet carrots. We love how the carrots and shallows caramelize in the high heat of the oven. These carrots are an easy side dish for any meal. They're not just for a holiday dinner.

How To Make roasted carrots, thanksgiving favorite

Step 1

Prepare carrots by halving them cross-wise and cutting them length-wise to make even-sized pieces. The pieces should be larger than a matchstick and bigger than bite-sized.

Step 2

Peel all the shallots. Dice two shallots and halve the rest.
Step 3

Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat to 425 degrees. In a bowl, combine ingredients tossing to coat.
Step 4

Transfer carrots to a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread into a single layer.
Step 5

Cover baking sheet tightly with foil and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 6

Remove foil and continue to cook, stirring twice, until carrots are well browned and tender, 30-35 minutes.
Step 7

Serve hot.
