Description
A simple and comforting one-pan side dish of roasted carrots and green beans glazed with honey, balsamic vinegar, and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh carrots
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: Chopped fresh parsley or toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
- Wash and trim the green beans, snapping off the stem ends. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch thick pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the carrots and green beans in a large bowl and pour the honey glaze over them. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let rest for a minute, then garnish and serve warm.
Notes
For crisper edges, use a metal sheet pan. You can also customize the glaze with spices or citrus for a personal touch.
