Make this simple, sweet, and savory vegetable side dish using carrots and green beans coated in a quick honey glaze. This recipe is practical for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Toss the prepared carrots and green beans together in a large bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour the honey glaze mixture over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roast for 15 minutes. Toss the vegetables gently.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  8. Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with fresh thyme, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute the butter with 3 tablespoons of coconut oil.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, sauté the vegetables in oil until tender-crisp, then add the glaze ingredients and cook for 2-3 minutes until coated.
  • The vegetables should be tender but still have a slight bite (tender-crisp).
