1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

3. Trim and slice carrots evenly so they are similar in size for even cooking.

4. Place carrots in a baking tray with thyme sprigs and coat with 3/4 of the glaze.

5. Roast for 15–20 minutes until the carrots begin to caramelize, stirring if needed to prevent burning.

6. Remove from oven, flip the carrots, and pour over the remaining glaze.

7. Return to the oven and roast for another 20–25 minutes until tender and sticky.

8. Remove thyme sprigs, garnish with fresh parsley, and season with an extra pinch of salt if desired before serving.

Use evenly sized carrots to ensure consistent cooking.

Do not exceed 400°F (200°C) or the glaze may burn.

If glaze starts to char, stir carrots and slightly reduce heat.

Fresh thyme is recommended over dried for best flavor.

Optional: drizzle extra honey or balsamic before serving for enhanced flavor.
