Carrots Beets Roasted (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound carrots
02 - 1 ½ pounds beets
03 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon honey
07 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
08 - Feta cheese for topping, optional
09 - Fresh thyme for topping, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 450°F and let it warm up.
02 - Trim the beets, peel their skin, and cut them into cubes about an inch wide.
03 - Peel the carrots and slice them into sticks about 2 inches long.
04 - Mix the vinegar and honey in a small bowl until combined, then drizzle in the olive oil while stirring. Add in salt and pepper.
05 - Move the beets into a medium-sized bowl, pour half the dressing over them, and mix until all are coated.
06 - Lay out parchment paper on a baking tray, spreading beets evenly over one side.
07 - Use a paper towel to clean the bowl. Add the carrots and toss them with the leftover dressing.
08 - Grab the carrots with your hands, letting any extra dressing drip off, and spread them on the other half of the pan. Arrange everything in a single layer.
09 - Bake for 15 minutes, stir the veggies, and bake for 5-8 more minutes. Take out the carrots when soft, then return the beets to cook another 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
10 - Dish up the veggies and add some fresh thyme or feta, if you'd like.
