Make these sweet and savory roasted honey glazed carrots. This simple recipe uses brown sugar and garlic for a perfectly caramelized, glossy finish ideal for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced or baby carrots
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the prepared carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the honey, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and thyme, if using. Mix until the sugar dissolves and the glaze is smooth.
  6. Pour the honey glaze mixture over the carrots. Toss gently until all the carrots are evenly coated.
  7. Spread the carrots back into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  8. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is caramelized and glossy.
  9. Serve immediately as a side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss the carrots with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar along with the glaze ingredients.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, simmer the coated carrots in a large skillet with 1/4 cup of water over medium heat until the water evaporates, then continue cooking until the glaze thickens.
  • Select carrots of uniform size to promote even cooking and caramelization.
