Recipe Notes

This recipe is from The Clever Carrot

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 F.

Place the carrots into a baking dish in one single layer. I used an 8×8 pan, however a 9×13 would work as well. Add the orange juice and place the clementine halves into the pan for extra flavor. Add the thyme sprigs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake until the carrots are tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 10- 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and discard the foil. Increase the heat to 450 F. Drizzle the carrots with honey and toss gently. Place back into the oven, uncovered, and roast until the carrots begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they do not burn.

To serve, drizzle lightly with olive oil and add extra salt and pepper to taste.
