Honey Roasted Carrots (Print)

Sweet, tender carrots roasted with honey and herbs for an easy side dish.

# 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 every piece is evenly coated with the honey mixture.

04 - Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded for proper caramelization.

05 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until carrots are tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.

06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm alongside your main course.

01 -

The natural sweetness of carrots gets amplified into something extraordinary without any fancy techniques
Its one of those rare side dishes that actually steals attention from the main course
You probably have everything you need already, making it perfect for lastminute meals

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet is the quickest way to end up with steamed, soggy carrots instead of beautifully roasted ones
The honey can burn if your oven runs hot, so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes

03 -

Cut your carrots into similar sizes so they roast evenly, nothing worse than some pieces being overdone while others are still crunchy
Letting the carrots cool slightly on the baking sheet helps them develop even more caramelized flavor
