Description
Roasted carrots and green beans are a simple yet delightful side dish that can elevate any meal. With their vibrant colors, tender textures, and mouthwatering flavors, this versatile combination is sure to become a staple in your household.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce green beans, trimmed
- 12 ounce carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans and carrots. Trim the green beans if needed, and peel and cut the carrots into uniform 3-inch sticks.
3. In a large bowl, toss the green beans and carrots with the olive oil, tarragon, thyme, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and a generous sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown in places. The vegetables should still have some texture and not be mushy.
6. Remove the roasted carrots and green beans from the oven and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. For an extra burst of flavor, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
7. Serve the roasted carrots and green beans warm, either as a side dish or as a component of a larger meal.
