Ingredients  

  • 16 medium carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Fresh thyme (or other herbs), for garnishing

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and honey with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  
  • Drizzle the carrots with the honey mixture and toss until they are well-coated. Arrange the carrots in a single layer then roast them for 20 minutes, toss them once then continue roasting another 20 to 30 minutes or until fork-tender. 
  • Remove the carrots from the oven, sprinkle them with the fresh thyme and serve immediately. 

Notes

  • Aim to select carrots that are all similar in size so that they roast in the same amount of time. 
  • Any variety of carrots will work in this recipe, as well as any shape and size. You can cut them into batons or coins, or use baby carrots. 
  • To easily measure honey, first use the same measuring cup to measure and pour out the olive oil. The oil will coat the cup and make it easier to pour out the sticky honey.
