- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and trim the ends. If the carrots are large, cut them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the mixture.
Step 5
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Balsamic Roasted Carrots!
