Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the tops, leaving about an inch of the green stems for added presentation, if desired.
Place the carrots on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat them evenly.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking. The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges when done.
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the honey-citrus glaze by mixing the honey, orange zest, orange juice, and thyme leaves in a small bowl.
Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the honey-citrus glaze over them while they are still warm. Toss gently to coat.
Arrange the glazed carrots on a serving platter. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios for crunch and, if using, dollop or crumble goat cheese on top for added creaminess.
Serve warm as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy your Cwazzy Wabbit!
