Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed

Glaze & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
  2. Toss the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots and trimmed green beans with olive oil, honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the vegetables are evenly coated with the glaze and spices.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.
  4. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Halfway through roasting, stir the vegetables to promote even cooking and caramelization. Roast until carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, and green beans are tender-crisp.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh and colorful finish.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately as a flavorful and healthy side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

Notes

  • Roasting time may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of the vegetable slices.
  • For a vegan option, ensure the honey used is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in an oven or microwave before serving.
