Simple roasted carrots are elevated with a touch of honey, creating a sweet and savory side dish that's both healthy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the Carrots
Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. Cut them into even pieces – either coins, sticks, or diagonal slices. This helps them cook evenly.
Season
In a bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure the carrots are well coated.
Roast
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with extra thyme, if desired.
