Ingredients:

8 carrots
490g
4 garlic cloves
12g
1 tsp honey
7g
4 tbsp olive oil
55g
1/2 tsp ginger
0.90g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Carrots:
- Wash and peel the carrots.
- Cut the carrots into sticks or rounds, depending on your preference. Ensure the pieces are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
3. Mix the Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, olive oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a consistent mixture.
4. Coat the Carrots:
- Add the carrot pieces to the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Halfway through the baking time, stir the carrots to ensure even cooking.
7. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and transfer the carrots to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley or thyme, for added flavor and presentation.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve warm as a delightful side dish to complement your main course.

Tips:

- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the carrots before baking.

- Ensure the carrots are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.

- You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can roast the garlic cloves whole and remove them before serving.
