Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Oven: 450°F
Roast time: 35 to 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Weeks Honey Farm Bakery Honey
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered
• 1 pound carrots, cut into 3/4-inch pieces; halve thick pieces
• 1/2 pound red beets, about 3 medium, peeled and quartered
• 1/2 cup sliced sweet onion
• 1/4 shallot, sliced lengthwise
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

How to Make Honey Roasted Root Vegetables

1. Heat the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Prepare the pan. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
3. Mix the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk the Bakery Honey, melted butter, and olive oil until combined.
4. Coat the vegetables. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, beets, onion, and shallot with the honey mixture. Add the thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper, then toss again.
5. Spread evenly. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared pan. Leave space between pieces where possible so they roast instead of steam.
6. Roast. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are fork-tender and lightly browned.
7. Serve. Watch the edges closely near the end because the honey can darken quickly. Serve the vegetables warm.

Roasting Tips

• Cut the vegetables into similarly sized pieces so they finish together.
• Beets may tint the other vegetables; toss them separately with part of the glaze if you want the colors to stay distinct.
• Use two sheet pans if the vegetables are crowded.
• Reheat leftovers uncovered in a hot oven to restore some caramelized texture.

Why Bakery Honey Works

Bakery Honey adds rounded sweetness to earthy root vegetables and helps their edges caramelize alongside butter, thyme, and oregano.
