You can make these honey butter glazed roasted carrots quickly. They offer a sweet and savory side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the sliced carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the honey and fresh thyme, if using. Whisk until the glaze is smooth.
  4. Pour the honey butter mixture over the carrots and toss them until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the carrots into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has caramelized slightly.
  7. Serve the roasted honey carrots immediately as your sweet and savory side dish.

Notes

  • For a garlicky flavor, add 1 clove of minced garlic to the butter mixture while it melts.
  • If you prefer a richer glaze, substitute 1 tablespoon of the butter with brown sugar.
  • You can use baby carrots, but reduce the roasting time slightly.
