Ingredients

• 1 lb organic carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• Pinch of ground black pepper
• Optional garnish: chopped parsley or fresh thyme

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the carrots:
   In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, coconut sugar, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Roast:
   Spread carrots evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender and golden around the edges.
4. Glaze (optional but recommended):
   While the carrots roast, place remaining glaze from the mixing bowl in a small pan over low heat. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Finish and serve:
   Drizzle carrots with warm glaze and sprinkle with chopped parsley or fresh thyme before serving. Serve warm.

✨ Coconut Sugar Tip:

Coconut sugar caramelizes beautifully when roasted — watch closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning and ensure a glossy, golden finish.
