Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (fresh or dried) Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Peel the carrots and slice them in half lengthwise. If the carrots are very thick, quarter them for more even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the carrots on the lined baking sheet and drizzle the honey mixture over them. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Flip them halfway through cooking.
Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle them with a teaspoon of lemon juice for a hint of brightness.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
