Humble Carrots, Heroic Results
Carrots are so underrated. When you roast them with honey and butter until they're caramelized and tender — with those gorgeous golden edges — they transform into something people actually fight over at the dinner table.
How to Make It
Toss halved carrots with melted butter, honey, crushed garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast at 200°C/400°F for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
Tina's Tips
- Single layer, don't crowd — crowded carrots steam instead of caramelize
- Rainbow carrots make this dish gorgeous
- Add a squeeze of orange juice before roasting for extra dimension
- These are perfect alongside roast chicken or holiday meals
