Ingredients
  

1 pound of baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if available)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help caramelize the carrots beautifully.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.

      Coat the Carrots: Add the baby carrots to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them gently to coat evenly in the honey-garlic mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated carrots out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there’s some space between each carrot for even roasting.

          Roasting: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and starting to caramelize. They should be lightly browned on the edges.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the carrots from the oven. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy hot!
