Honey, orange & thyme baby carrots

These tender baby carrots might be a side dish, but they taste like the star of the show! Sweetened with honey and orange juice, they’re roasted with fresh thyme until deliciously tender and perfectly caramelised.
Ingredients
- 500 g baby carrots
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup runny honey
- 1 orange, juiced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Parsnip and beetroot roasted this way are also delicious. Peel and cut parsnip into batons or cut the beetroot into thin wedges before tossing through the olive oil mix.
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Wash and trim the carrots and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the carrots in a bowl with olive oil, honey, orange juice and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Place carrots in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes until caramelised and tender.
Leave about 4-5cm of the stems on the carrots, making sure they are well washed and dried before roasting.

My family love this recipe. It is always a hit! I drop my son Max off to football and can make this recipe and have the kitchen clean by the time I pick him up. A hump day favourite
