Honey Glazed Carrots
Description
In this recipe, peeled carrots are sliced diagonally into chunks, tossed with honey, minced garlic, melted butter or ghee, olive oil, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. The combination creates a sweet-spiced glaze that clings to the carrots. Roasting at 425°F for 20-25 minutes softens the carrots and develops caramelization, with an optional broil step to add crisp edges.
The roasted carrots have a tender texture with a balance of sweetness and spice from the honey and cinnamon-ginger blend. The garlic and butter deepen the savory notes, while a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme adds an herbal finish. This dish serves as a vibrant accompaniment for a variety of mains, especially in fall and winter meals.
Leftover cooked carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for several days and reheated in the microwave. Freezing is possible for longer storage. Using a sturdy sheet pan prevents warping during roasting, ensuring even cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrot peeled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, or ghee
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- parsley or other herbs, for garnish, optional
- thyme or other herbs, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F/220C. Then, cut the carrots on a diagonal, about 1"-1.5" in length. If your carrots are large and thick, you can slice them in half as well.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced carrots with the honey, garlic, butter, oil, and spices.
- Pour the carrots and glaze onto a sheet pan and spread them out.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through. You can also broil for 2-3 minutes, to get caramelization on the edges.
- Transfer carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped herbs.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze in a suitable container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat simply in the microwave until warmed through.
- Use a heavy-duty sheet pan for roasting to prevent warping and ensure even heat distribution.
