Honey Roasted Carrots (Printable View)

Sweet, glazed carrots roasted until tender and golden

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil

03 - 2 tbsp honey

04 - 1/2 tsp salt

05 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

06 - 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.

03 - Add the carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating with the honey mixture.

04 - Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are not overcrowded.

05 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until carrots are tender and edges are lightly caramelized.

06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs if using. Serve warm while flavors are at their peak.

01 -

The natural sweetness of carrots gets amplified into restaurant-quality caramelization with just five minutes of prep work
These reheat beautifully for lunch the next day, if they last that long

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with steamed carrots instead of roasted ones
The honey can burn quickly at high heat, so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes

03 -

If your honey has crystallized, warm the jar in hot water for a few minutes and it will mix smoothly again
Let the carrots cool for just a couple of minutes before serving so the glaze has time to set slightly
