Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the prepared carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the honey butter mixture over the carrots. Toss them well to coat every piece evenly.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and dried thyme (if using) over the carrots. Toss again.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately as your favorite vegetable side dish.
Notes
- For a honey garlic glazed carrots variation, add 1 clove of minced garlic to the glaze while melting the butter.
- If you prefer stovetop honey glazed carrots, cook the carrots in a large skillet over medium heat, covered, for 10 minutes before adding the glaze and cooking uncovered until tender and glossy.
- For best results, use fresh carrots; canned carrots will become too soft.
