Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too thick, as they may be woody.
  • Wash the carrots thoroughly: Scrub the carrots well under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Peel the carrots, if desired: Peeling the carrots is not necessary, but it will give them a more refined appearance. If you choose to peel the carrots, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
  • Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Roast the carrots for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  • Make the honey glaze: While the carrots are roasting, make the honey glaze by combining honey, butter, and spices in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened slightly.
  • Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and brush them with the honey glaze. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the glaze is set.

Conclusion:

Honey glazed roast carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and slightly caramelized, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both beautiful and delicious.
