Ingredients
  

1 pound of baby carrots, scrubbed and trimmed

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme, chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

      Add the baby carrots to the bowl and toss them in the honey-balsamic mixture until evenly coated.

        Spread 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 about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.

            Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

              Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
