Honey Roasted Carrots Flavorful and Simple Side Dish

Honey roasted carrots are a sweet and savory treat. They are easy to make and taste great. What makes them special? The mix of honey and orange juice brings out the carrot’s natural sweetness.

To start, gather your ingredients. You will need baby carrots, honey, olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme add a nice touch at the end.

First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk honey, olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. This creates a rich glaze for your carrots.

Next, add the baby carrots to the bowl. Toss them well to coat each carrot in the glaze. This step is crucial for even flavor.

Now, spread the glazed carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This makes the cleanup easy. Roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Stir the carrots halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. They will become tender and caramelized, with a slight crisp.

After roasting, let the carrots cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a serving platter. For a pop of color, sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme on top.
