Tender roasted carrots glazed with honey and thyme, finished with olive oil for flavor.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1.75 lbs peeled carrots, cut into uniform sticks or rounds

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

03 - 2 tablespoons honey

04 - 1½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

05 - ½ teaspoon sea salt

06 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

07 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

01 - Set oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, honey, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

03 - Spread the coated carrots evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

04 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and caramelized at the edges.

05 - Optional: Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

01 -

The carrots turn sweet and tender without any fuss, just one bowl and a hot oven.
It works for weeknight dinners and holiday tables without changing a thing.

02 -

Cut the carrots the same size or the thin ones will burn before the thick ones soften.
Dont skip turning them halfway, the bottom side gets the best caramelization and you want that on both ends.

03 -

Let the honey drip slowly from the spoon so it coats the carrots evenly, clumps will burn in the oven.
If your carrots are very thick, parboil them for five minutes before roasting so they soften all the way through.
