  • 500g Chantenay carrots (preferably mixed colour)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • handful fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • sea salt
  • cracked black pepper

Utensils

  • 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
