Ingredients
  

1 lb rainbow carrots (a mix of orange, purple, yellow, and red)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

2 cloves garlic, minced

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)

Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: Rinse and peel the rainbow carrots. If they are particularly large, slice them lengthwise or into even-sized sticks to ensure even roasting.

      Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

        Coat the Carrots: Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized. Toss halfway through for even roasting.

              Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and optional sesame seeds for added crunch.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them cold in salads!
