Honey Roasted Carrots (Print Version)

Sweet, tender carrots glazed with honey and herbs, roasted until caramelized for an effortless side.

# Ingredient List:

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 out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are not overcrowded.

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 sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.

01 -

The honey creates these irresistible sticky caramelized bits that make carrots taste like candy from the farmers market
They require about five minutes of hands-on time but look like you put way more effort in

02 -

I once forgot to stir them halfway through and ended up with some pieces burnt to a crisp while others stayed crunchy
Using a rimmed baking sheet is non-negotiable because that honey mixture will bubble and try to escape

03 -

If your honey has crystallized, warm the jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes and it'll mix right in
These reheat surprisingly well in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes if you need to make them ahead
