Ingredients
2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Add sliced carrots to the bowl and toss until fully coated in the honey garlic mixture.
4. Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs if using. Serve warm.
Notes
Slice carrots evenly to ensure uniform cooking and perfect caramelization.
For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
Don’t skip flipping halfway—this helps all sides caramelize beautifully.
