Honey Glazed Roasted Baby Carrots are a deliciously simple side dish that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with a rich honey-butter glaze. Roasting brings out a beautiful caramelized flavor, making them perfect for everyday meals or holiday feasts!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Coat the Carrots:

    • Place the baby carrots in a large mixing bowl. Pour the glaze over the carrots and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:

    • Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast:

    • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

 


Notes

  • Make It Sweeter: Add a pinch of brown sugar to the glaze for extra caramelization.
  • For a Spicy Kick: Sprinkle a bit of red pepper flakes into the glaze.
  • Alternative Flavors: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different twist.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
