Roasted Potatoes and Carrots are healthy comfort food that is perfect for family dinner. The savory flavor pairs well with almost any main dish you’re serving. Plus you can prep these carrots, potatoes, and onions and then put them in the oven while you make the rest of the meal.
Talk about easy and perfect for chilly winter evenings around the table. It’s a hearty and filling side dish.
ROASTED POTATOES AND CARROTS
Oven-roasted potatoes and carrots can be made with or without onions. This recipe is my favorite because I love cooked onions, but I often make it without the onions so it’s more kid-friendly. Or you can just pick them out when you serve them. Not that I’ve ever done that before — nope, never!
If you’ve check out any of my other carrot side dish recipes, you know I like a very simple ingredient list. I didn’t go to culinary school but I still like being able to put easy, home-cooked meals on the table for my family when we have time. Making baked carrots and potatoes with ingredients I often have in my kitchen is one of my go-to recipes.

- 1 lb small red potatoes
- 1 lb baby carrots

- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

- Chop the onion.
- Mix olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add potatoes, carrots, and onions to the bowl. Mix to coat the vegetables with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread potatoes, carrots, and onions in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes or until they reach desired tenderness. Stir halfway through cooking time.
- Season with more salt and pepper, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
You can use any type of potato you would like in this recipe. Just be sure to chop them into pieces that are similar in size. You also want the potato pieces to be slightly smaller than your carrots as potatoes take longer to cook.
