Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs whole carrots, medium-sized
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Note: A fully preheated oven is vital for immediate moisture evaporation.
  2. Peel the 1.5 lbs whole carrots and slice them on a diagonal bias into 2 inch pieces. Note: This maximize surface area for better browning.
  3. Place the carrots directly on a heavy duty rimmed sheet pan.
  4. Drizzle with the 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Toss with your hands until evenly coated, then spread them in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching for maximum airflow.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes in the center of the oven.
  7. At the 15 minute mark, use a spatula to flip the carrots. Wait until they release easily from the pan.
  8. Toss the 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp honey with the carrots during the final 5 minutes of roasting.
  9. Remove from the oven once the carrots are tender with deep brown caramelized spots.
  10. Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme and serve immediately while the honey is still bubbling and tacky.
