Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the carrots and green beans in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey butter mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the green beans are crisp-tender with slightly caramelized edges.
  6. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Cut vegetables evenly for consistent cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Adjust sweetness by reducing honey or adding Dijon mustard to the glaze.
