Ingredients:
- 1 lb. fresh whole carrots
- 2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, equals juice from 1/2 a lemon
- several stems of fresh thyme
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel your carrots. Cut into sticks approximately 2 1/2 - 3 inches long and 1/2 - 1 inch wide.
- Place your carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on top of carrots.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper.
- Remove the leaves from your sprigs of thyme. To do this just hold each sprig at the top and gently slide your fingers down it to remove leaves. Sprinkle on top of your carrots. (I'm pretty generous with the thyme because the flavor is fairly mild.)
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Flip halfway through so both sides get nice and glossy. Carrots are done when they're tender.
- Remove from oven and serve!
