Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
  • 4 large carrots peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Prepare asparagus and carrots, cutting them to similar thickness for even roasting.
  • Place vegetables on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until carrots are tender and asparagus tips are slightly crisp.
  • Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan over hot veggies right after roasting for a melty, savory finish.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Add lemon zest, chili flakes, or toasted nuts for extra flair. Pairs well with any protein — or just a fried egg.
