Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs (900g) red potatoes skin-on, cut into wedges
  • 1 lb (450g) carrots peeled, cut into 3/4-inch rounds
  • 6-8 garlic cloves whole
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil for glazing
  • 2 tbsp (3g) fresh rosemary needles only
  • 1 tsp (1g) dried thyme
  • 1.5 tsp (9g) sea salt flakes
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) cracked black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • 1 White Ceramic Baking Dish Or a rimmed sheet pan
  • 1 Chef's knife For uniform cutting
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl For tossing vegetables

Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a white ceramic baking dish or a large rimmed sheet pan.
  2. Wash red potatoes and cut into uniform wedges. Peel carrots and slice into thick 3/4-inch rounds.
Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with olive oil, dried thyme, and half the sea salt until they are glistening and fully coated.
Roasting
  1. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in the baking dish. Nestle the whole garlic cloves between the potato wedges.
  2. Roast for 35-45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden-brown and the carrots show charred, caramelized edges.
  3. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary needles over the dish during the last 5 minutes of roasting for maximum aroma.

Notes

Pat the potatoes completely dry before oiling to ensure maximum crispiness.
Don't crowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to allow air to circulate around each wedge.
