Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and lemon juice. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Slice the fresh carrots into thin rounds and trim the green beans. Toss the vegetables in the honey glaze until coated.
  4. Transfer the coated vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
  5. Roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, giving them a stir halfway through cooking.
  6. Once roasted, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
