Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the carrots and trim off the ends. Depending on their thickness, cut the carrots into halves or quarters lengthwise to create uniform pieces for even cooking.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger finely using a microplane or small grater.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, grated ginger, honey, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the ginger mixture.
Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for optimal roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring or flipping the carrots halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
When the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
