Honey Glazed Rainbow Carrots and Pears
SERVES: 4-6
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
COURSE: Side
This colorful side dish is equally impressive and simple. All you need to do is cut up the carrots and pears; toss them with honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper; and sprinkle them with fresh thyme. Then, they bake. After 20 minutes, douse the carrots and pears with even more honey so they can achieve a beautiful caramelization during the last few minutes of baking. Finish the dish with more sprigs of fresh thyme for a lovely presentation.
