Servings: 6 as a side
Calories: 116kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots - peeled (and chopped if needed to make carrots equal in size and shape)
- 1½ tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon honey - plus more for drizzling
- 1-2 teaspoon ginger - freshly grated, optional
- ½ teaspoon salt - plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary - finely minced
- Fresh thyme - to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the carrots. I purchased pre-packaged petit carrots from Trader Joe's, but any carrots will work. Simply wash, peel, and dry your carrots. If your carrots are thick, I suggest slicing them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Make the glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, honey, ginger, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary.
- Coat the carrots. Pout the glaze over the carrots and gently toss until all of the carrots are evenly coated. Spread the glazed carrots evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast. Roast the carrots for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until fork tender and caramelized around the edges. Remove from the oven, drizzle with additional honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- If your carrots happen to be big and thick or completely different shapes and sizes, be sure to cut them to the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Leftovers: Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a preheated 350-degree F oven or microwave until heated.
- This recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free, and Paleo-approved.
- To make this recipe vegan: Swap the honey with maple syrup.
