Enjoy these Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrots, a simple side dish bursting with sweet and tangy flavor. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots, and the glaze creates a beautiful, slightly sticky finish. This recipe is perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into uniform pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes.
  5. While the carrots roast, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  6. Remove the carrots from the oven. Drizzle the honey balsamic mixture over the carrots. Gently toss them right on the pan to coat.
  7. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the sticky, sweet coating!

Notes

  • For a nice aroma, you can add a pinch of dried thyme with the salt and pepper.
  • Cut the carrots into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary for better roasting.
