Roasting carrots at high heat transforms them into something genuinely special — deeply golden on the cut side, tender all the way through, and finished with a sticky honey glaze that makes them almost impossible to stop eating. This is the kind of simple side dish that earns compliments way out of proportion to the effort involved, and it comes together in under 40 minutes for four people. Managing a low-histamine approach to eating often means navigating sauces, condiments, and pre-made glazes that are loaded with problematic ingredients, but this recipe keeps everything clean and straightforward. The glaze is just honey and a small amount of apple cider vinegar whisked together, and the seasoning relies on fresh thyme and optional parsley rather than anything processed or fermented. Fresh herbs are the flavor backbone here, which is exactly the kind of aromatic lift that works beautifully within these dietary boundaries. The carrots go into a hot oven cut-side down so they caramelize naturally before the glaze even hits the pan, building real depth without any shortcuts. Serve them straight from the platter while they're still warm and glossy — they won't last long.
