Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots (peeled)
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- parsley, thyme or other herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots on a diagonal into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces. For larger, thicker carrots, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting.
- Toss With Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced carrots with honey, minced garlic, melted butter or ghee, olive oil, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Roast Carrots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the glazed carrots evenly on a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to achieve a golden, caramelized edge.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, thyme, or other fresh herbs as desired for added freshness and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.
- To achieve extra caramelization, broil the carrots for a few minutes after roasting.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute butter with vegan margarine or additional olive oil.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey based on taste preferences.
- Ensure carrots are cut evenly for uniform roasting.
