Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the carrots and trim the tops and ends. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise. Leave smaller carrots whole.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the honey mixture.

Step 5

Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the carrots if using.

Step 7

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Turn them halfway through for even roasting.

Step 8

Remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the honey-roasted carrots to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
