Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound medium-sized carrots fresh thyme sprigs fresh parsley finely diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • In a small bowl, mix honey, vinegar, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste to make a glaze.
  • Trim the tops off carrots and slice them in half lengthways. Smaller carrots can be left whole.
  • On a baking sheet, combine carrots, a few sprigs of thyme, and ¾ of the glaze; coat carrots well. Roast 15–20 minutes or until carrots just start to caramelize.
  • Take carrots out of the oven, turn with spatula, and pour over the remaining glaze. Put them back in the oven until fully caramelized. Bake another 20 minutes, depending on the size of your carrots—watch them so they don’t burn.
  • To serve, remove thyme stalks and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
