Ingredients
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced carrots and cubed sweet potatoes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the honey butter mixture over the carrots and sweet potatoes. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the glazed carrots and sweet potatoes before serving.
