Ingredients
Scale
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots (peeled)
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the carrots evenly.
- Prepare Carrots: Arrange the peeled carrots in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet to allow even roasting on all sides.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful, sweet and spiced glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Use a pastry brush to generously coat all sides of the carrots with the honey butter glaze, or spoon the glaze evenly over the carrots for full coverage.
- Roast Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy their warm, glazed flavor.
Notes
- Make sure carrots are cut in similar sizes for even roasting if you decide to cut them.
- Use fresh peeled carrots for the best texture and sweetness.
- You can adjust seasoning like salt and pepper to taste.
- For a vegan version, substitute melted butter with olive oil or vegan butter.
- This recipe pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian dinner.
