COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: For the Carrots: Preheat oven to 400째F. Place carrots in a large skillet and cover with cold water. Season gently with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots are tender. Season cooked carrots with salt and pepper. Add thyme sprigs to pan, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss to coat, and transfer to oven. Roast, turning occasionally, until carrots are lightly caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, discard thyme, and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350째F. For the Duxelles: Place mushrooms in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to brown, about 12 minutes. Add shallots and garlic and cook, tossing and stirring, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce and bourbon and cook about 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and stir to combine. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
