Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 250 milliliters apple cider
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized wedges, about 6-8 cm long and 1-2 cm thick.
In a large bowl, toss the carrot wedges with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway through cooking.
While the carrots are roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple cider, honey, and fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the cider glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat evenly.
Return the glazed carrots to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the edges start to caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with extra thyme if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Carrot Wedges Glazed in Cider!
