Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound medium-sized fresh carrots, peeled and cut into uniform sticks or slices

Honey Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Start by washing and peeling your carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or slices to ensure even cooking. This step is key to achieving consistent tenderness throughout.
  2. Mix the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey (natural), olive oil, ground cinnamon (natural), sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Toss Carrots in the Glaze: Place the carrot pieces in a large bowl or baking dish. Pour the honey glaze over them and toss everything until each piece is generously coated.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the glazed carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Look for tender insides and caramelized, slightly crispy edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. Serve warm to best enjoy the flavors and texture.

Notes

  • Choose medium-sized carrots for even roasting.
  • Cut carrot pieces to similar sizes so they cook consistently.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; allow space for proper roasting and caramelization.
  • Taste the glaze before roasting and add more honey (natural) if you prefer sweeter carrots.
  • Flip the carrots halfway through roasting to ensure they brown evenly.
