Ingredients:
• 1.5 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: A sprinkle of parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
3. Roast Carrots: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with parsley for garnish before serving, if desired.
Notes:
• Carrot Size: If the carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise for more even cooking.
• Honey Substitute: Maple syrup can be used as an alternative to honey for a different flavor.
• Roasting Tips: Ensure the carrots are not overcrowded on the baking sheet for even roasting.
