Submitted by Abby Girl

"Roasting carrots brings out their natural sweetness. I naturally cut the olive oil and butter down (for my own preference), but you may want to increase to 1-1/2 T"

The carrotes were so tasty prepared this way. We really enjoyed this simple recipe. It was quick and easy to make with terrific results, made exactly as written. The carrotes were tender, sweet and perfectly spiced, I did serve with salt and pepper. I agree that the fresh thyme leaves work beautifully in this dish. Thanks for sharing your recipe Abby Girl, made for Let's Party 2011.

So simple and so tasty. Made just as stated and the carrots came out tender, sweet and the thyme does complement it so well.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for P-A-R-T-Y, December 2011.

I only used one pound of carrots but used the same amount of olive oil and butter but cut the thyme in half. This was a different way for us to enjoy carrots but next time I think I would cut the thyme back even more.

I love roasted veggies.....simple but so delicious. Thyme is a wonderful herb to go with carrots. All I added was a little salt & pepper. Thanx for some yummy carrots!
