Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the green beans, snapping off the stem ends. Peel and slice the carrots into 1-inch thick pieces on a diagonal.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the carrots and green beans in a large bowl and pour the glaze over the vegetables. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding. If needed, use two sheets.
Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the green beans are slightly tender-crisp. Check at 20 minutes for doneness.
Optional: For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 1-2 minutes, and garnish with parsley or toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a quicker version, use pre-cut baby carrots.

You can substitute balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a different tangy flavor.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.

If using frozen vegetables, adjust the cooking time accordingly, as they release more moisture during roasting.
