Tender roast carrots tossed in a honey balsamic sauce!
Roast carrots make for a quick and easy side dish and you can dress them up in different flavours, like these honey balsamic carrots! The carrots are simply peeled and cut into bite sized pieces before tossing in oil and roasting until tender. While the carrots are roasting the honey and balsamic vinegar are heated and reduced a bit before adding the garlic and thyme. I like to serve these carrots with a crumble of goat cheese, which starts to melt from the heat of the roasted carrots!
