Ingredients
  

For the Vegetables
  • 4 medium Carrots Provide natural sweetness and vibrant color. *Substitution: Use parsnips for a unique twist.*
  • 2 cups Green Beans Add a tender-crisp texture and bright flavor. *Preparation Note: Fresh green beans are ideal; frozen can be used if thawed and dried.*
For the Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ensures proper roasting and enhances flavor. *Substitution: Can be replaced with melted butter for a richer taste.*
  • 3 tablespoons Honey Adds sweetness and creates a glaze. *Substitution: Use maple syrup for a vegan alternative.*
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Brightens the dish and balances sweetness. *Preparation Note: Fresh lemon juice offers the best flavor.*
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Provides warmth and depth to the glaze. *Tip: Lightly toast before use for an enhanced flavor.*
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Contributes a warm, nutty flavor. *Tip: Use sparingly, as its strong flavor can overpower.*
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning. *Tip: Adjust to taste for maximum flavor.*
  • Chopped Fresh Parsley For garnish and freshness. *Note: Other herbs like thyme or dill can be used for variation.*
