Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Roasted Carrots and Green Beans
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the fresh carrots and green beans thoroughly under cold water. Peel the carrots if desired, chop them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking. Trim the ends of the green beans.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped carrots and trimmed green beans. Drizzle them generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, and toss well.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned carrots and green beans in an even layer.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, allow to cool slightly before serving on a platter.
