Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Carrots
- 2 pounds fresh whole carrots cleaned and cut lengthwise
Honey Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary - finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme- finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika chili powder, or red chili flakes
- ½ teaspoons sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons honey plus more for drizzling
- Fresh thyme rosemary, or parsley as garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet spray with cooking oil, or coat with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Prepare the carrots. Wash and peel your carrots—dry well. Slice your carrots in half vertically so they are all approximately equal in width. Place carrots on a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until well combined.
- Coat the carrots in the glaze. Add the honey glaze to the mixing bowl with the carrots. Mix well to coat the carrots with the glaze completely. Spread the carrots evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake and serve. Bake the carrots for approximately 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and fork tender. Opening the oven to stir the carrots twice during cooking, so they roast evenly. Remove from the oven, transfer the cooked carrots to a serving platter, drizzle with more honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Adjust baking time if using a ceramic dish or a flat baking sheet. The carrots will roast faster on a baking sheet than in a deeper baking dish.
- Butter the baking dish or baking sheet generously. This prevents sticking and adds extra flavor to the carrots.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give the carrots space on the sheet pan to ensure they roast rather than steam.
