Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs rainbow carrots, trimmed and halved lengthwise if thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- While the carrots roast, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the carrots. Toss gently on the pan to coat.
- Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If your carrots are very thin, reduce the initial roasting time by 5 minutes.
- For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the carrots before the final roasting step.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
