Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh, medium-sized carrots Peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons pure honey For that sweet glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil To help with roasting
  • ½ teaspoon salt To enhance the flavors
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper For a touch of spice
Optional Ingredients
  • fresh herbs (e.g., rosemary or thyme) Chopped for added aroma and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the carrots under cold water, peel them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.
  4. Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss them in the honey mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated carrots in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to roast properly.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the carrots for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Once roasted, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

Choose fresh, vibrant carrots for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave if preferred. Experiment with spices like cinnamon or cayenne.
