Ingredients
- 17.5oz Chantenay carrots (preferably mixed colour)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- handful fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp honey
- sea salt
- cracked black pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and wash the carrots, scrubbing any rough parts of the skin with a teaspoon
Step 2
Place the sauté pan on medium heat and add the oil
Step 3
Pat-dry the washed carrots and season with sea salt
Step 4
Add the most of the thyme springs to the pan and allow it to cook for a few seconds to infuse the oil. Chop the rest and reserve it for garnishing
Step 5
Drop the carrots in the pan and cook in medium heat, turning frequently until nicely caramelised on all sides, this should take about 10 mins
Step 6
The carrots should now be golden brown and partially cooked, season with black pepper and transfer the sauté pan to the oven for 15-20 mins to finish cooking them
Step 7
Drizzle the carrots with honey for the last few minutes to allow it to bubble and caramelise. They should be nice and shiny from the glaze once ready
Step 8
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the chopped thyme and more sea salt flakes than serve immediately
