Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

vegetable cooking spray

2 pounds baby carrots -- see note

4 small onions

6 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

 

Preheat the oven to 475ºF.

 

Spray an 11x13-inch roasting pan with cooking oil spray. Place the carrots in

the pan.

 

Peel the onions and cut them into quarters. Cut the quarters in half again and

add the pieces to the pan with the carrots.

 

Peel the garlic by placing the broad side of a chef's knife or other flat object

over each clove and giving it a firm whack with your hand. Add the cloves to

the pan. (Don't worry if they break apart.)

 

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with the thyme, salt &

pepper. Stir and toss until the vegetables are coated with oil. Bake,

uncovered, 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and stir. Return to the

oven and bake 12 more minutes, stirring every 4 minutes, until the carrots begin

to brown and are tender when pieced with a knife tip.

 

Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the vinegar over the vegetables. Stir

and toss until the vinegar is well-distributed. Serve 1/2-cup servings as a

side dish. Cool the remaining vegetables and refrigerate in a covered container

for up to 4 days.
