Honey Roasted Carrots (Printable)

Sweet glazed carrots roasted until tender and golden. An effortless side with honey and herbs.

# 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 even coating with the honey mixture.

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

05 - Roast for 20 to 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 desired. Serve warm.

01 -

The honey creates these gorgeous caramelized edges that make carrots taste like candy but in a sophisticated way
Theyre practically foolproof even if youve never roasted vegetables before
The prep takes ten minutes and then your oven does all the work

02 -

Cutting carrots into similar sizes ensures they all finish cooking at the same time
The honey can burn if your oven runs hot or if you roast too long, so check at the 20 minute mark
These reheat surprisingly well in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes if you need to make them ahead

03 -

Room temperature honey is much easier to work with than cold honey straight from the pantry
If your carrots are really thick, cut them in half lengthwise before slicing into pieces
Letting them rest for a few minutes after roasting helps the flavors develop even more
