    Prepare the garlic: Slice both ends off of each garlic head. Keep the casing on. Place onto the baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the veggies and garlic with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss so that everything is coated.

    Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and give the veggies a good mix. Drizzle the veggies with honey and balsamic vinegar and toss again. Make sure to flip the garlic heads over.

  6. 6

    Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork tender.

    Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully squeeze the garlic cloves out of the bulbs and toss with the roasted vegetables. Serve warm or at room temperature.
