2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Carrots: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the carrot sticks in the mixture until evenly coated.
- Roast the Carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until carrots are tender and caramelized.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Baby carrots can be used; cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even roasting.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
