Honey Roasted Carrots (Printable)

Sweet glazed carrots roasted until tender and golden with honey, olive oil, and fresh herbs.

# What You 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 coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces do not overlap.

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 garnish with fresh herbs if using. Serve while warm.

01 -

The honey creates these irresistible candied edges while keeping the inside tender and sweet
They cook alongside whatever else is in your oven without demanding any attention
Even people who swear they hate carrots end up reaching for seconds

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to steam instead of roast those carrots
Stirring halfway through prevents some pieces from burning while others stay undercooked
The honey will bubble and darken quickly in the last few minutes so watch closely then

03 -

Cut your carrots into uniformly sized pieces so they all finish roasting at the same time
Room temperature carrots will roast more evenly than cold straight from the refrigerator ones
Let the sheet pan cool slightly before cleanup makes that honey residue much easier to handle
