Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or diagonally into 1/2-inch slices to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey (if using), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
