Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Set oven racks in upper and lower third of oven so you can use two baking sheets.
Cut the stems off the broccoli florets and split up the florets into medium size pieces. Place in colander and rinse. Set aside.
Prepping carrots. With a y-peeler remove the outer blemished dirty layer of the carrots. Cut off root end of carrot. Rinse and cut diagonally into 1½-inch thick slices. You want them to be similar in size to broccoli (see below) so they cook at the same time.
Place vegetables in large ziplock bag or shallow big bowl. Spray with oil. Mix well.
Sprinkle the seasonings: rosemary, thyme, onion powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Carefully remove hot baking sheets from oven. Place on stove top and spread vegetables into an even layer. The pans are very hot; the vegetables will sizzle as they touch the pan. Roast in the oven for 25 - 27 minutes. At the 20 minute mark check vegetables and spray with a little more oil. Carrots should be fork tender and the broccoli crisp.
