You will make these roasted carrots often. They are tender, slightly sweet from the honey glaze, and perfectly caramelized. This simple roasted vegetable recipe works well for weeknight dinners or as a side dish for holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the prepared carrots onto the baking sheet and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them into a single layer.
  3. Roast the carrots for 15 minutes.
  4. While the carrots roast, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, and minced garlic.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the honey-garlic mixture evenly over the carrots and toss gently to coat.
  6. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as your best side dish vegetable.

Notes

  • For a savory twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary with the olive oil before the first roast.
  • If your carrots are very thick, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
  • To achieve maximum caramelization, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary.
