Sweet & Spicy Herb Roasted Carrots
Fresh carrots are roasted in honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic, cayenne and fresh herbs for the tastiest carrots you'll ever have.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh whole carrots, halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons pure honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6-8 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Place carrots on a baking sheet. Line with parchment or non-stick foil first if desired for easier clean up.
- In a small bowl, add oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, parsley, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine then pour over carrots. Place sprigs of thyme on top of carrots.
- Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Use tongs to turn carrots over then roast for 15-20 more minutes or until desired tenderness.
- Serve immediately and sprinkle more fresh herbs on top if desired.
Notes
- Baby carrots can be used as well. Halve them lengthwise if they are "fatter."
