Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs fresh carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the carrots and cut them on a bias (diagonally) into 2-inch pieces, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and fresh herbs until a smooth emulsion is formed.
  3. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every surface is coated in the glaze. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  4. Spread the carrots onto a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange them in a single layer with space between each piece to ensure roasting rather than steaming.
  5. Place the tray in the center of the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, toss the carrots with a spatula. Roast until the edges are dark golden brown and tender.
