Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. If they are large, slice them in half lengthwise. Try to create uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the honey balsamic mixture over them. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.
Step 5
Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting.
Step 6
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme.
