Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey Glazed Carrots is a crowd-pleaser, whether you’re preparing Easter side dishes, or need a delicious side for a week night meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb peeled and cut into sticks or left whole if small about 6-8 carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks if they are large. For small, tender carrots, leave them whole. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Drizzle the honey garlic mixture over the carrots. Toss them gently to coat evenly, ensuring the glaze reaches all sides. Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking.
- Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and color, if desired. Serve warm.
