Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots and trim the tops and ends. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise. Leave smaller carrots whole.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the honey mixture.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the carrots if using.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Turn them halfway through for even roasting.
Remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the honey-roasted carrots to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
