Ingredients
- 800 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them diagonally into approximately 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Step 3
Place the sliced carrots in a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots and add the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme. Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between the carrots to allow them to roast evenly.
Step 6
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are tender and starting to caramelize on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the honey over the warm carrots.

Gently toss the carrots to distribute the honey evenly, then transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 9
Serve the roasted carrots warm as a delightful side dish.
