Eucalyptus Honey & Orange Roasted Carrots

Orange-glazed roasted carrots with thyme beside a jar of Bee Mercy Eucalyptus Honey.

Give everyday roast carrots a bright, glossy finish. Orange and thyme pair beautifully with the deeper flavour of Eucalyptus Honey.

Prep: 10 minutes · Cook: 35 minutes · Serves 4 as a side

Ingredients

  • 600g carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons Bee Mercy Eucalyptus Honey
  • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • A pinch of salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Spread the carrots on a baking tray, toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and arrange in a single layer.
  2. Roast for 25 minutes, turning once, until the carrots begin to soften and colour.
  3. Mix the honey with the orange juice and zest. Drizzle over the carrots and toss to coat.
  4. Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes, until tender and lightly glazed. Scatter over the thyme and serve warm.

Serving idea: Add them to a Sunday roast or serve alongside a grain salad.
