You make tender, sweet, and savory roasted baby carrots with a simple honey garlic glaze and a finish of Parmesan cheese. This easy roasted carrots recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb baby carrots
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes.
  5. While the carrots roast, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  6. Remove the carrots from the oven. Drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat.
  7. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  8. Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot carrots and toss lightly.
  9. Transfer the honey garlic roasted baby carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley before you serve them.

Notes

  • For crispier edges, ensure the carrots are in a single layer on the baking sheet and do not overcrowd the pan.
  • If you prefer a more savory roasted carrots flavor, reduce the honey to 1 tablespoon and add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme with the initial seasoning.
  • These make a kid approved vegetable recipe; if your children prefer less glaze, reserve half the glaze to drizzle on after roasting.
