Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- Step 5: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat leftover carrots in a skillet over medium heat with a touch of olive oil to restore their caramelized glaze.
- These honey-glazed carrots make a vibrant and delicious side dish alongside roasted chicken or pork.
- For extra flavor depth, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the carrots before roasting.
