# Ingrediente:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 kg colorful carrots (rainbow or regular), peeled and cut into sticks or left whole if thin
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons honey
04 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Garnish and Flavor Enhancements

08 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1 tablespoon melted butter
11 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add garlic powder or minced garlic, if using.
03 - Toss the carrots in the honey mixture until well coated.
04 - Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
05 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and caramelized on the edges. For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
06 - Sprinkle with fresh parsley and, if desired, add crumbled feta or goat cheese for a savory touch. Serve warm as a side dish.

# Note utile:

01 - You can prep the carrots and glaze ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge and combine when ready to roast.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) or in a skillet to maintain texture.
