Honey Roasted Carrots (Printable)

Sweet glazed carrots roasted with honey and herbs for a delicious side.

# What You'll Need:

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 each piece is evenly coated with the honey mixture.

04 - Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper caramelization.

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

06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.

01 -

The honey creates these gorgeous sticky edges that make even vegetable skeptics reach for seconds
Takes literally five minutes of hands on time but tastes like something from a restaurant

02 -

Single layer spacing is not optional. Overcrowded carrots become steamed carrots which is entirely different and disappointing
The honey can burn if left too long, so start checking at the 20 minute mark especially if your oven runs hot

03 -

Room temperature honey mixes more easily into the oil. If yours is crystallized, warm the jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes first
Stirring halfway through ensures all sides get that gorgeous caramelization instead of just one side burning
