Ingredients

500 g rainbow carrots trimmed and washed
2 tbsp agave syrup
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
A pinch of dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
If the carrots are large, cut them lengthwise for even cooking. Place the carrots on the prepared baking tray.
In a small saucepan, combine agave syrup, olive oil, mustard, vinegar, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently until well combined and slightly reduced. Set aside.
Drizzle the glaze over the carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use a brush or your hands to coat them thoroughly.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and caramelized, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
Once done, transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of flavor and vibrancy.
