Make simple, sweet, and savory roasted baby carrots coated in a honey garlic glaze. This easy side dish cooks quickly and is suitable for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the baby carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
  3. Roast the carrots for 15 minutes.
  4. While the carrots roast, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  5. Remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the carrots and toss them gently until they are fully coated.
  6. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze has caramelized slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with the salt and pepper before the final roast.
  • For a balsamic variation, substitute 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce.
  • If your carrots are very large, cut them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly.
