Description

Honey-Glazed Carrots are a deliciously simple side dish featuring tender carrots baked to caramelized perfection in a rich honey-butter glaze infused with rosemary and garlic. This easy recipe adds a touch of elegance and sweetness that makes it perfect for holiday meals or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 15 carrots (about 2 lbs.), peeled and halved lengthwise

Garnish

  • Fresh thyme, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) to prepare for roasting the carrots.
  2. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Stir in the honey, dried rosemary, and garlic powder until well combined. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Toss the carrots with glaze: Place the peeled and halved carrots on a large baking sheet. Pour the prepared honey-butter glaze over the carrots, then toss them thoroughly ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the glaze.
  4. Roast the carrots: Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized with a glossy, honeyed glaze.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the carrots from the oven. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top for an aromatic garnish before serving.
