You can make these Honey Garlic Roasted Baby Carrots for a simple, flavorful side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals. They roast until tender and caramelized with a sweet and savory glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the baby carrots in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and minced garlic.
  4. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the carrots. Add the salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the carrots are fully coated in the glaze.
  5. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote better roasting and caramelization.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven. Transfer the roasted baby carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley before you serve them warm.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary with the salt and pepper before roasting.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar for 1 teaspoon of the honey.
  • If your carrots are very large, cut them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly with the smaller ones.
