      Equipment:

      • Baking sheet
      • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
      • Mixing bowl
      • Tongs or a spatula

      Ingredients:

      • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or left whole if thin
      • 2 tablespoons olive oil
      • 1 teaspoon honey (optional for extra sweetness)
      • 1/2 teaspoon salt
      • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
      • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic
      • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

       

       

      Instructions:

      1. Preheat the Oven:
        • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
      2. Prepare the Carrots:
        • In a mixing bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic. Ensure they’re evenly coated.
      3. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
        • Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
      4. Roast:
        • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning the carrots halfway through. Roast until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
      5. Finish:
        • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.

      Presentation Ideas:

      • Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a gourmet touch.
      • Sprinkle with chopped parsley or crumbled feta for added flavor.
      • Arrange on a serving platter for an elegant table presentation.

      Tips:

      • Use heirloom or rainbow carrots for a vibrant and colorful dish.
      • If your carrots are thick, slice them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
      • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin for a different flavor profile.
