Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots Recipe: Sweet & Simple!
Get ready to turn boring carrots into a delicious side dish that’s super easy and totally yummy. These Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots are sweet, tender, and perfect for impressing your family and friends (or just enjoying a yummy treat yourself!).
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed (baby carrots work too!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey (I have use mad honey from Nepal). You can use any honey for this purpose.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the carrots: Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform-sized pieces. If the carrots are thick, you can halve or quarter them lengthwise for quicker cooking.
- Coat the carrots: Place the carrot pieces in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the carrots: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and starting to caramelize around the edges. You can toss them halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Make the glaze: While the carrots are roasting, prepare the honey glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and balsamic vinegar (if using) over low heat. Stir until the honey is melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat.
- Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the honey glaze over them while they’re still hot. Toss gently to coat the carrots evenly with the glaze.
- Serve: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
