Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots
Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh carrots, peeled and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 1 | Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. If they're large, you may want to cut them into halves or quarters lengthwise so they cook evenly. Find local carrots here.
Step 2 | Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3 | Coat the Carrots: Place the carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Drizzle the honey glaze over the carrots, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Find local honey here.
Step 4 | Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, flipping them halfway through cooking.
Step 5 | Garnish and Serve: Once the carrots are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme for a burst of freshness.
Step 6 | Serve: Serve the honey glazed roasted carrots warm as a side dish alongside your Easter feast. They pair wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian spread.
Enjoy your delicious Easter meal with these flavorful roasted carrots!
