Roasted Garlic Carrots and Mushrooms With Thyme

What You Will Need:

• Carrots – I like to buy whole carrots that still have their carrots greens (also known as fronds) on top so I can use them as a garnish.
• Mushrooms – You can use any type of mushroom you like. For this recipe, I usually buy pre-sliced baby portabella mushrooms.
• Thyme – I like to use fresh thyme for this recipe. If you use dried herbs, add less.
• Garlic
• Olive oil, salt, & pepper

Let’s Make Roasted Garlic Carrots and Mushrooms with Thyme!

Roasted Garlic Carrots and Mushrooms with Thyme is a simple and quick recipe to make. I like to cook this side dish when I need to impress without the stress! First, preheat the oven and stir the herb mixture: olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set the bowl aside to let the flavors meld together.

Next, cut the carrot greens (fronds) off the top of each carrot. Wash and peel the carrots. The carrots take longer to roast then the mushrooms so you will get them started first. Place the carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Spoon half of the herb mixture over the carrots and put them in the oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, flip the carrots and add the mushrooms to the baking sheet. Spoon remaining herb mixture over the mushrooms and roast for 10 minutes longer. I like to keep the carrots and mushrooms on separate sides of the baking sheet, so it makes plating and presenting them easier.

Finally, pull the vegetables out of the oven and put on a large plate. I like to add all of the carrots to the plate then top with mushrooms. You can garnish with additional thyme and carrot greens.
