Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound of fresh carrots, peeled and cut into uniform sticks (about 3-4 inches long)
3 tablespoons of pure honey
1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon of ground ginger)
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon of sea salt (adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and grated ginger together to make the glaze.
Pour the honey-ginger mixture over the oiled carrots and toss to coat well.
Spread the carrots evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Once roasted, let the carrots cool for a few minutes, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
