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.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
