Prepare the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light coating of cooking spray.
Prepare the Vegetables: Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. Halve the small potatoes. Place both the carrots and potatoes in a large bowl.
Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Whisk together until well mixed.
Coat the Vegetables: Pour the olive oil and butter mixture over the carrots and potatoes.
Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the carrots are tender.
Finish with Fresh Parsley: Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Give everything a gentle toss to distribute the parsley evenly.
Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes and carrots to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy this flavorful and comforting side dish alongside your favorite meals.
