Honey-Roasted Carrots

Be the first to rate & review!

These sweet and tender honey-roasted carrots get a bit of char from the oven. These are topped with sesame seeds, but topping with a fresh herb like parsley can add a pop of color to this easy side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 pounds carrots, diagonally sliced into 2-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Stir oil, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add carrots; toss to coat. Spread the carrots on the prepared pan; roast until almost tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, melt honey and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.

  4. Remove the carrots from the oven; drizzle with the honey mixture and toss to coat. Continue roasting until charred and tender, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with any honey mixture from the pan; sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
