Name: Roasted Carrots

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds carrots
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup, or 1 additional tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 400º F.
• For easy cleanup, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub the carrots and dry well. If any of the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise
• Cut the unpeeled carrots crosswise on the diagonal in 1 1/2-inch slices.
• Toss the carrots with oil and honey mixture to coat evenly.
• Place the carrots in the center of the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and thyme over the top.
• Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the carrots are browned and tender, tossing once halfway through.
• Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and toss once more to coat.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

Comments: 8/26/2023 - I used 3 carrots (about 2/3 pounds), but with the full amount of coatings. I used maple syrup instead of honey. I roasted them for 25 minutes at 475º.
10/16/2023 - I used two large carrots and roasted them at 415º.
