Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Honey Glazed Carrots & Green Beans
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the sliced carrots and trimmed green beans to the glaze, tossing thoroughly to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the glazed carrots and green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces.
