Ingredients
- 6 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the carrots and slice them in half lengthwise. If the carrots are particularly thick, cut them into quarters for even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a glaze.
Step 4
Place the carrot slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Drizzle the glaze over the carrots and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the carrots out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through for even caramelization, until the carrots are tender and slightly golden on the edges.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm.
