Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash and peel the carrots. If they are large, cut them in half lengthwise or into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, orange zest, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the honey-herb mixture.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
