I made this dish for Thanksgiving. The only change I made was using fresh rosemary sprigs instead of thyme. I didn't have any thyme and I grow rosemary. This dish was easy to prepare, beautiful to look at and very tasty.

Easy to make, absolutely delicious. I used Grana Padano cheese and baby carrots, halved.

My changes were: 2 to 3 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. chopped onion. This dish was delicious! I'm glad that I tried these carrots!
