This Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrot recipe will bring color to your table. I am all about having a variety of side dishes for the perfect holiday dinner or to mix it up during weeknight dinners.
I used rainbow carrots but you can use baby carrots or peeled and chopped classic orange carrots as well. Balsamic Vinegar, Honey and Thyme make for an excellent marinade to roast any vegetable in.
Ingredients:
Carrots, baby or full sized and sliced the way you like them
Balsamic Vinegar
Honey
Thyme
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Method
Easy and classic, these carrots make for the prettiest and delicious side dish. The first time you roast will just be in EVOO. Then remove from the oven and toss with honey and balsamic vinegar. Replace the carrots back in the oven to be caramelized for Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrots.
You can use this recipe with nearly almost any other vegetable that’s typically roasted. Use honey per your taste to sweeten the carrots. You can use the thyme whole in sprigs or remove the leaves. I usually do a mixture of both. I love how pretty thyme leaves make any dish.
