Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lemon, cut into slices
1 whole chicken, skin on, cut into parts
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 to 3 shakes hot Hungarian paprika
1 pound small potatoes, any larger ones halved
4 carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
20 or so fresh thyme sprigs
2 to 3 fresh rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • On a large baking sheet with sides, add half the lemon slices to half of the sheet and arrange the chicken skin-side up over them. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Hit the chicken with a few dashes of paprika, then move on to the other half of the sheet. Add the potatoes and carrots cut-side down to the empty half of the sheet. Top everything with the thyme and rosemary, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Over the portion of the baking sheet with the chicken, add the remaining lemon slices and season again with salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Discard the rosemary, thyme and lemon slices. Remove the chicken from the sheet and cover gently with aluminum foil (no need to crimp the edges, just lay it over it until ready to serve).

ROASTED CARROTS



Roasted Carrots image

This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds carrots, peeled quartered or cut into sixths lengthwise depending on the size, then into 2-inch lengths
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the carrots in a single layer. Place the carrots in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and if the carrots are not yet tender, turn the heat down to 375 degrees and return to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes until tender. Add the parsley, stir gently, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH THYME



Glazed Carrots with Thyme image

Cooking carrots in a bit of water, butter, and sugar brings out their delicate flavor and coats them with a thin glaze. Instead of baby carrots, you can substitute medium carrots, cut into thin slices. Dill or parsley would work here as well.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds baby carrots, peeled and trimmed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large straight-sided skillet, bring 1 1/3 cups water, brown sugar, and butter to a boil over high. Add carrots and reduce heat. Partially cover and simmer until slightly tender, 10 minutes. Uncover and cook, gently tossing often, until carrots are tender and glazed, about 6 minutes. Stir in thyme and cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose young, tender carrots with smooth skin and vibrant color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots well to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the carrots if desired, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure they are in a single layer in the pan. Overcrowding will prevent them from roasting evenly.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: Roasting the carrots at a high temperature will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Season the carrots well: Season the carrots with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before roasting. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Serve the carrots hot: Thyme and rosemary carrots are best served hot. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a snack.

Conclusion:

Thyme and rosemary carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of thyme and rosemary herbs gives the carrots a unique and flavorful taste. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
