Ingredients
Scale
Ready to get cooking? Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat
If you’re out of soy sauce, a splash of balsamic vinegar can do the trick for a tangy twist. And if you prefer a vegan option, maple syrup is a great substitute for honey.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking with these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots and green beans. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the honey mixture over the vegetables, tossing until they are well coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly distributed for even cooking.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the beans are slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- If you like a little kick, sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
This is a dish I often make when time is tight, and I need something that tastes like it took a lot more effort than it actually did. The aroma alone makes my kitchen a welcoming place.
