Ingredients
2 cups sliced carrots
2 cups broccoli florets, washed and dried
1 Β½ tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
ΒΌ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, or to taste)
Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 400Β°F as specified. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the quick glaze. This mixture is what gives your veggies that extra flavor boost, transforming a basic side into something special.
2-Next, wash and dry your broccoli florets and sliced carrots, then toss them with the glaze in a large bowl. Sprinkle with kosher salt and make sure everything is evenly coated. Spread the vegetables on a parchment-lined baking pan for even roasting, which helps achieve that perfect caramelized edge.
3-Roast for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they reach a tender-crisp texture. This method works wonders for busy parents or students needing a quick, healthy option. For added inspiration, check out grilled chicken kabobs with vegetables for ideas on pairing this side with proteins.
