Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped Choose firm, bright carrots for the best flavor.
  • 1 lb beets, scrubbed and chopped Look for small to medium-sized beets for quicker cooking.
  • 1/4 cup honey Opt for local, raw honey for added richness.
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil This enhances flavor while ensuring the veggies roast perfectly.
  • 1 tsp sea salt Balances the sweetness of the honey beautifully.
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper Adds a hint of warmth and spice.
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional) Fresh herbs elevate the dish, but dried is a fine substitute.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using) in a large bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.
  3. Add carrots and beets to the bowl; toss gently to coat them evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve warm, drizzling any leftover honey mixture on top.
