Ingredients
  • 1 lb Carrots
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 sprig Fresh Thyme (optional)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds or sticks, ensuring even cooking.

Seasoning

In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Make sure the carrots are evenly coated with the mixture. For added flavor, toss in a sprig of fresh thyme.

Roasting

Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the carrots halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Serving

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this simple and delicious side dish!
