Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound baby carrots or regular carrots peeled and cut into sticks
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the honey mixture.
  5. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even caramelization.
  7. Check for doneness; the carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice just before serving for added brightness.

Notes

Serve warm as a side dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice just before serving for extra flavor.
