ingredients
Steps
Prep and Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform pieces, about 5 cm long, or halve them lengthwise if they are thicker.
Seasoning
In a large bowl, combine the chopped carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and the optional fresh thyme. Make sure every carrot piece is coated with the honey-oil mixture.
Roasting
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Flip them once halfway through for even cooking.
Serving
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, as a delicious side dish.
Extra Tips
► Cut the carrots into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
► If you like a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes.
► Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro for an even fresher taste.
