ingredients

4 Servings
1 kg carrots
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
5 g salt
2 g freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme (optional)

Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
