Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional for herbal flavor variation)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional for a warm, earthy variation)
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots, trim the ends, and slice them diagonally into uniform pieces approximately 2–3 inches long for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth glaze.
Toss the carrot slices in the honey glaze mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. If desired, add thyme, cumin, or chili flakes at this stage for a flavor variation.
Spread the glazed carrots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through for even roasting.
Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and color before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course, and enjoy!
