• Carrots: 2 pounds, choose medium to large carrots for best results. They should be peeled and cut into uniform pieces for even roasting.
• Honey: 3 tablespoons, use a good quality honey for the best flavor. It adds sweetness and helps with caramelization.
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons, extra virgin olive oil is recommended. It helps the carrots roast beautifully and adds a subtle fruity note.
• Salt: ½ teaspoon, kosher salt or sea salt is preferred. Salt enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
• Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper is best. It adds a touch of spice and depth of flavor.
• Fresh Thyme (optional): 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme leaves. Adds a lovely herbaceous aroma and flavor that complements the honey and carrots.
• Garlic Powder (optional): ½ teaspoon, adds a subtle savory depth.
