Preparation

Preparation5 min

Cook time1 h 35 m

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Clean the carrots.
Hasselback technique: to create the accordion effect, place 1 carrot between 2 cutting boards (or 2 wooden spoons, for example). Make thin, parallel cuts. The slices will remain attached because you haven't cut all the way through. Repeat with the remaining carrots.
Grease the baking dish and arrange the carrots in it. Drizzle them with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Add the garlic cloves and the bouquet garni.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil, mix and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Zest the clementines and squeeze out the juice. Melt the butter. Then put the zest, juice, butter, honey and vinegar in a bowl. Season to taste. Mix well.
Pour the sauce over the carrots and return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until golden brown. It's ready. Enjoy!
