Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into evenly sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced carrots in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil and honey over the carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss together until well coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle the heavy cream over the carrots. Toss gently to coat and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cut the carrots into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure roasting instead of steaming.
- Adjust the honey quantity according to your sweetness preference.
- Add spices like cinnamon or ginger for extra flavor.
- Fresh herbs enhance the dish’s visual appeal and taste.
