Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound rainbow carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place peeled and cut rainbow carrots into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme or rosemary to the bowl and toss to coat the carrots evenly.
  4. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Stir the carrots halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  7. Check the carrots with a fork for tenderness; remove when they are fork-tender and caramelized.
  8. Serve the carrots warm, drizzling additional honey on top if desired.

Notes

For extra sweetness, drizzle a bit more honey on top just before serving.
