Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and sliced carrots.

      Make the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Toss and Coat: Pour the balsamic glaze over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts and carrots are fully coated in the glaze.

          Bake the Vegetables: Spread the coated vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

            Add Cheese (Optional): For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of baking. Return to the oven to melt and golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your Balsamic Glazed Carrots and Brussels Sprouts Bake warm as a delightful side dish to complement any main course!
