Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing your fresh carrots and green beans. Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform pieces, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking. Trim the ends off the green beans, keeping them whole.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar until well combined and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut carrots and green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour the honey glaze over the vegetables and toss again to ensure even coating.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the vegetables evenly in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Check for tenderness by piercing a carrot piece with a fork; they should be soft yet crisp. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or chopped nuts.

Notes
For best results, use fresh vegetables and ensure even cutting to prevent uneven cooking. Feel free to add flavor enhancements like lemon juice or nutmeg if desired.
