Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the herb and oil mixture.
Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Drizzle the honey over the carrots, adding a layer of sweetness to balance the herbs.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and have a light caramelization on the edges.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the carrots cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement any main course.
