Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb rainbow carrots, scrubbed and trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Place the trimmed carrots on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
- Drizzle the carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
- Toss the carrots directly on the pan until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots into a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra caramelization, you can briefly place the pan under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you do not have fresh thyme, use 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme instead.
- Use carrots of similar thickness to ensure even cooking time.
