Why Miele for Holiday Cooking?
When the kitchen becomes the heart of your home this season, having the right tools makes all the difference. Miele’s built-in convection ovens deliver even heat distribution, allowing vegetables like carrots to roast beautifully—tender on the inside, caramelized on the edges. Meanwhile, the Miele induction cooktop brings professional-grade control to your stovetop tasks, perfect for melting butter or infusing flavor with herbs.
Honey & Thyme Roasted Carrots
Ingredients
For Roasting:
- 2 lbs. whole carrots, peeled (rainbow carrots optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
For Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness
To Finish:
- Flaky sea salt
- Extra thyme for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep the Carrots
Start by preheating your Miele convection oven to 400°F. Trim and peel your carrots, leaving a bit of green top if desired for presentation. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- WORDS
Roast the carrots for 20–25 minutes, or until fork-tender and lightly browned at the edges. Keep an eye on them—Miele’s convection airflow ensures faster, more consistent roasting than standard ovens.
- Make the Honey Thyme Glaze
While the carrots roast, use the Miele KM 7740 FR Induction Cooktop to make your glaze. On medium-low heat, melt butter and whisk in honey and fresh thyme. Optional: add lemon zest for brightness.
✅nduction Tip: Thanks to Miele’s full-surface induction technology, you can place your pot anywhere and get immediate, even heat—no hot spots, no wasted time.
- Glaze and Finish
Drizzle the warm glaze over the roasted carrots just before serving. Garnish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a few thyme leaves for a sophisticated finish.
Serve with Style
This dish pairs beautifully with classic turkey, roasted pork, or a vegetarian centerpiece. The sweet and herbal notes from the glaze elevate the carrots into a standout side dish perfect for Thanksgiving in Colorado’s mountain towns or bustling Front Range kitchens.
