Chrissy Teigen's Thyme-Roasted Carrots Are Perfect For a Holiday Side Dish

Chrissy Teigen's Thyme-Roasted Carrots

Cravings by Crissy Teigen

Teigen's recipe calls for six sprigs of thyme. I'd recommend at least doubling that amount, which is how I made mine.

1 1/2 pounds thin carrots, peeled
3 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 sprigs thyme

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice larger carrots (thicker than one inch) in half lengthwise; leave the smaller ones whole.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, arrange the carrots on the foil, then drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Either shake the pan or use your hands to coat the carrots with oil, salt, and pepper on all sides.
Scatter the thyme sprigs among the carrots and roast until the undersides are golden and caramelized, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Shake the pan and continue to roast until the carrots are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, another 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, discard the thyme sprigs, and serve.
