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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off their stem ends. If using whole carrots, peel and cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the carrots and green beans in a large bowl and pour the honey glaze over them. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. For added caramelization, broil for an additional minute or two while watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. Let rest briefly before serving; garnish with optional fresh parsley or sesame seeds.
