Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots - peeled (and chopped if needed to make carrots equal in size and shape)
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon honey - plus more for drizzling
  • 2 teaspoon ginger - freshly grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary - finely chopped
  • Fresh thyme - to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Prepare the carrots. I purchased prepared petit carrots from Trader Joe's, however, you can easily prepare this recipe with any carrots. Simply wash and peel your carrots. Dry well. if your carrots are thick, I suggest slicing your carrots in half vertically so that they are all approximately equal width. Transfer the prepared carrots to a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, honey, ginger, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary.
  • Coat the carrots in the glaze. Add the glaze to the mixing bowl with the carrots. Mix well to completely coat the carrots with the ginger honey glaze. Spread the carrots evenly across the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
  • Bake and serve. Bake the carrots for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked and fork tender. Remove from the oven, drizzle with more 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 400-degree F oven or microwave until heated.
  • This recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free, and Paleo-approved.
  • To make this recipe vegan: substitute maple syrup for honey.
