• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into sticks approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onions into wedges, ensuring the layers stay intact for even roasting.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks, onion wedges, and whole garlic cloves.

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle them with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Toss everything in the bowl until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 7

Spread the vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the onions are golden and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.
