Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick coins

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped)

1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help achieve a beautifully roasted, caramelized flavor on the carrots.

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced carrot coins. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Using your hands or a spatula, toss the carrots until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and seasonings, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Organize the carrot coins in a single layer on the sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. This allows for optimal roasting and prevents steaming.

        Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly. You want them to be tender and boasting a beautiful golden-brown edge.

          Garnish and Serve: Once roasted to perfection, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the carrots to cool for a couple of minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top, adding a vibrant pop of color and fresh flavor.

            Enjoy: These herb roasted carrot coins are versatile! Serve them as a delightful side dish, toss them into salads for added texture, or layer them in wraps for a flavorful boost.
