Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
For the Glaze
  • 0.25 cup Balsamic Vinegar

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the peeled and chopped carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until they are thoroughly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer onto a large baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, remembering to stir them halfway through.
  2. While the carrots roast, prepare the balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until it reduces and thickens into a glaze.
Serving
  1. Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving dish and drizzle generously with the prepared balsamic glaze before serving warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the carrots before roasting them.
