Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into even pieces to ensure consistent cooking and proper texture.
In a bowl, combine the carrots with honey, balsamic vinegar, ginger powder, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well so every piece is evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 20–30 minutes, turning once, until tender and lightly caramelized. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper roasting.
Remove from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. The glaze should be glossy and balanced—serve immediately while warm.

For longer storage, you can freeze the carrots for up to 3 months.Reheating tips: Warm the carrots in the microwave until heated through, or gently reheat in a pan over medium heat to bring back some of the glaze.
