Oven Roasted Glazed Carrots
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 - 8 medium large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
few splashes of white wine vinegar
salt and pepper
a few shakes of vegetable herb spice mix
a nice drizzle of honey
about 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Place the chopped carrots into a large bowl. Toss with olive oil then add all the other ingredients. Toss the carrots again to coat evenly. Set aside the bowl and allow the carrots marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
In the meantime preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
Once the oven has reached its temperature and the carrots are done marinating, place and spread the carrots on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until just tender.
