Charred Herby Baby Carrots

1  Prepare the carrots

Wash, peel, and clean the baby carrots thoroughly.

2  Sauté the garlic

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.

3  Cook the carrots

Add the carrots to the pan and toss well to coat. Pour in the balsamic vinegar (or honey–soy mixture).

4  Char & glaze

Cook for 10–15 minutes, gently tossing occasionally to ensure even charring. Add fresh herbs during the last few minutes if you want them lightly charred.

5  Season & serve

Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

6  Pro Tip

If cooking mixed-colour carrots, cook purple carrots separately. Their vibrant pigment can stain the garlic, herbs, and lighter carrots.
