Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, olive oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a consistent mixture.
- Add the carrot pieces to the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
