Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots are a sweet and savory side dish featuring tender carrots coated in a flavorful mixture of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger, then roasted to perfection. This easy recipe combines buttery sweetness with a subtle hint of spice, making it an irresistible accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and chopped carrots with olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, red pepper flakes if using, and salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure every carrot piece is evenly coated with the flavorful glaze.
  3. Arrange for roasting: Spread the glazed carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and caramelization for all the pieces.
  4. Roast the carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir the carrots halfway through cooking to promote even browning and glaze distribution.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • If soy sauce is not preferred, tamari or coconut aminos can be used as gluten-free alternatives.
  • These roasted carrots are best served warm and can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
  • To keep it vegan, ensure the honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
