Honey Roasted Carrots

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp honey (plus more to drizzle!)

4 large cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp dried thyme

Salt + pepper, to taste

1/2 a lemon, juice

1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (to garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F (205C).

Peel carrots and chop into roughly 1.5-inch to 2-inch pieces, depending on thickness. I love to cut my carrots on a slight diagonal.

Transfer carrots to a large baking dish or a lined baking sheet. Add olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together, until the carrots are evenly coated in all the seasonings.

Place carrots in the oven and roast for about 30-45 minutes, or until desired doneness (see notes). I recommend tossing carrots halfway through for even cooking.

Remove carrots from oven and toss one more time in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Feel free to drizzle with an extra bit of honey and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve hot!
