Honey Roasted Carrots
Report
Sweet and tender honey roasted carrots served on a plate smeared with creamy goat cheese. The carrots are glazed with a simple honey, apple cider vinegar reduction and garnished with lemon zest, fresh parsley, toasted pine nuts and flakey sea salt. It's an impressive yet easy side dish to bring to the table. Try with heirloom carrots for a pop of color!

Ingredients
- 8 large carrot peeled and sliced on a bias (for really large carrots, slice in half lengthwise first
- 4 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 oz. goat cheese plus more as needed
- 1-2 Tbsp. parsley fresh, minced
- 1-2 tsp. lemon zest
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- sea salt flaky
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cut the carrots. Place in a mixing bowl.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and honey and heat until butter melts.
- Add garlic and stir until fragrant, ~30 seconds. Add the apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer on low until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5-6 minutes. It will look like a loose honey consistency. If you want a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer and reduce longer.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce onto the carrots and toss until coated.
- Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet along with any of the sauce that settled to the bottom of the bowl. (I like to flip the carrots cut side down so they get a nice roast).
- Roast for 20 minutes. Then drizzle the carrots with a little bit more of the honey sauce. Place back in the oven and roast again for ~10 more minutes or until roasted and tender.
- Spread the goat cheese onto a serving plate and drizzle the goat cheese with honey.
- Top the goat cheese with the roasted carrots and drizzle any remaining glaze on top. Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, pine nuts, and flaky sea salt. Serve right away and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: I love these carrots best the day they're made, but roasted carrots will store well in an air-tight container for 3-4 days. I would keep the goat cheese separate if you plan on having leftovers.
- If your carrots are turning out mushy and not roasted and caramelized, your pan may be over crowded. Try dividing the carrots on to 2 separate baking sheets or use less carrots.
