- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potatoes and carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper on a large baking sheet, spreading in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes until edges begin to caramelize.
