Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 500 grams Beetroot
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots and beetroot. Slice both into evenly-sized batons, roughly 1 cm thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the carrots and beetroot into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and thyme.
Toss the vegetables in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
While the vegetables are roasting, combine the honey and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the honey-lemon mixture over the vegetables.
Carefully toss the vegetables with a spatula to coat them in the glaze and return the tray to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Once the carrots and beetroot are tender and caramelized, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone meal.
