Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the carrots and green beans in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Pour the honey butter mixture over the vegetables and toss until everything is well coated with the glaze.
  5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not overcrowded.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the green beans are slightly crispy around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Cut vegetables evenly for consistent cooking, don't overcrowd the pan for better caramelization, and adjust honey to taste preference. Can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance.
