For a deeper flavor, use aged balsamic vinegar. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat. Roasted beets and carrots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme (about 1/2 teaspoon) in the glaze. To elevate the presentation, arrange the glazed beets and carrots on a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese or toasted nuts.

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Add the baking sheet with carrots to the oven during the last 30 minutes of the beets' roasting time.
