Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound medium-sized fresh carrots, peeled and cut into uniform sticks or rounds

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds to ensure even roasting and perfect tenderness.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey (natural), olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Stir until well blended to coat the carrots evenly.
  3. Toss the Carrots: Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss well to make sure each piece is coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the glazed carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they’re in a single layer for optimal roasting.
  5. Roast to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and caramelized with golden edges.
  6. Serve Warm: Let the carrots cool slightly before serving so the natural gelling agent from the honey glaze thickens gently, adding shine and stickiness.

Notes

  • Cut carrots to uniform sizes to ensure consistent cooking and texture.
  • Roast at high heat (400°F) for ideal caramelization and flavor.
  • Stir carrots halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Use fresh thyme or other fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming and maintain crispness.
