Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots and slice them in half lengthwise. If the carrots are particularly thick, cut them into quarters for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a glaze.
Place the carrot slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
Drizzle the glaze over the carrots and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through for even caramelization, until the carrots are tender and slightly golden on the edges.
Once baked, remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm.
