Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cut 1 lb carrots into 1-inch thick coins. Trim and cut 2 fennel bulbs into wedges.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss carrots and fennel with 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. The vegetables should be fragrant, with slightly crispy edges and tender interiors when pierced with a fork.
