Receta de zanahorias asadas a la miel

Ingredientes

• 600 grams carrots (peeled and ends removed)
• 50 grams honey
• 40 grams olive oil (extra virgin)
• 10 grams garlic (chopped roughly)
• 10 grams thyme sprigs (whole)
• 4 grams salt
• black pepper to taste

Preparación

1. 1

   turn on oven: Turn your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220C Celsius.

2. 2

   wash carrots: Wash and peel your carrots unless you're using baby carrots in which case you will only wash it. Place into a suitable baking dish.

3. 3

   prep carrots: Roughly chop the garlic and tear of the thyme leaves from the stalks adding them to the carrots along with olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Give it all a mix -through so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   place in roasting tray: Add 1/4 cup or 60 grams of water to the carrots and close with a tight-fitting lid or foil. This will create steam that lets them cook without browning too quickly.

5. 5

   Cook for 25 to 35 minutes depending on the size of the carrots. Carefully oven the carrots halfway through cooking to see how they are cooking and also to give them a mix so they cook evenly.

6. 6

   remove from oven: When they are done they should be tender, caramelised slightly, shiny and smell like heaven. If you want them to have a darker appearance simply place under the grill for a few minutes stirring once or twice until you are happy with the colour of your honey-roasted carrots.

7. 7

   Serve immediately or cool down before storing airtight in the fridge for later use.
