Honey Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into sticks (or use baby carrots)

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 3 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp butter, melted

• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare carrots: In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, honey, melted butter, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast: Spread carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until carrots are tender and caramelized around the edges.

4. Finish: Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with any pan juices, and sprinkle with parsley.
