Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Roasted Carrots with Thyme

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add balsamic vinegar if using.
  • Toss the carrots thoroughly to ensure they are well coated.
  • Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
