Ingredients
  

1 lb baby carrots (or medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)

2 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

      Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them in the honey-garlic mixture until they're evenly coated.

        Lay the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

          Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

            Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

              Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining honey-garlic sauce from the baking sheet over them.

                Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
