Ingredients
- Carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces: 1 pound
- Balsamic vinegar: 2 tablespoons
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- Dried thyme: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Add the carrots to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the balsamic honey mixture.
- Step 4: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Step 5: Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the carrots in a skillet over medium heat with a touch of olive oil until warmed through, to maintain their caramelized texture.
- Serve these sweet and savory carrots as a vibrant side dish alongside roasted chicken, pork, or a vegetarian main course.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; give the carrots space to caramelize properly for the best flavor.
