Ingredients

1 pound carrots peeled and sliced for even roasting and quicker cooking
1 pound green beans trimmed for a neat presentation and consistent texture
2 tablespoons olive oil helps vegetables caramelize and tenderize during roasting
1/4 cup honey adds a sweet glaze and aids in browning the vegetables
2 tablespoons lemon juice brightens the flavors and balances the sweetness of the honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon provides a warm, aromatic spice note to the dish
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg enhances the overall spice profile, complementing the cinnamon
1/2 tsp Salt season to your preference for optimal flavor
1/2 tsp pepper season to your preference for a hint of spice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for a fresh garnish and vibrant color just before serving

Equipment

Baking Sheet

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots and green beans with olive oil, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, and the green beans are tender-crisp. Stir halfway through cooking.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
