Oven-roasted Potatoes and Carrots with Thyme




Victor Protasio

 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes (see Notes), scrubbed and halved lengthwise
 2 pounds carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, then halved crosswise
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
 1/2 tablespoon butter
Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and add potatoes. Boil potatoes until barely tender when pricked with a fork, about 5 minutes, then drain them completely and spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Add carrots, drizzle vegetables with olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and gently toss to coat evenly. Bake, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
