Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine the herb marinade, stirring well.
In a large bowl, place carrots and onions and pour marinade over and stir to make sure all vegetables are coated with marinade.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place vegetables on pan. **
Roast for 20 minutes, stir vegetables and brush with more marinade. Continue roasting until the carrots are soft enough for a fork easily pierce through.

Notes

* You can purchase regular carrots or the rainbow version. Both are delicious in this recipe. The rainbow carrots tend to be smaller so you may need a few more for serving.

**Substitute 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and/or rosemary for the fresh herbs.

***If you prefer your vegetables more browned and caramelized, don't line the baking sheet with anything. Just put vegetables directly on the pan and roast.
