• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the herb and oil mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Drizzle the honey over the carrots, adding a layer of sweetness to balance the herbs.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and have a light caramelization on the edges.

Step 8

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the carrots cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement any main course.
