Honey Roasted Carrots (Print Version)

Sweet, tender carrots glazed with honey and roasted until caramelized for an easy, flavorful side.

# 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 for proper caramelization.

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 gorgeous caramelized edges that make plain roasted carrots feel fancy enough for company
They take five minutes to prep and the oven does all the work while you focus on the main dish

02 -

Crowding the pan steams the carrots instead of roasting them so give them room to breathe
Thinner pieces cook faster so cut your carrots into similar sizes for even results

03 -

Use real honey not imitation syrup for the best flavor and caramelization
Do not skip the parchment paper or you will spend way too long scrubbing hardened honey off your pan
