Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the carrots. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking. Pat them dry with a towel.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the honey-balsamic mixture over them. Toss the carrots to coat them evenly, then arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the carrots halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your favorite main course.
