Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Wash and peel the carrots. If they are large, slice them in half lengthwise. Try to create uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the honey balsamic mixture over them. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.
Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme.
