INGREDIENTS TIPS

SEASONING
I used a pretty basic seasoning (kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder), but if you want to adjust the seasonings you definitely can! Add some red pepper flakes to kick up the heat or some onion powder to really reinforce that onion flavor throughout the dish.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
I recommend using a high quality extra virgin olive oil for this recipe. Aside from the seasonings, your oil is the key ingredient that will turn your green beans into a showstopper of a side, so you want to use a good quality oil.

Cooking Honey Glazed Carrots: Recipe Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

The first step in this recipe is to wash and peel your carrots (removing the stems if desired). Place them on a baking tray.

Mix and place on a baking tray

Once the garlic and herbs are prepped, add them to the carrots along with kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil and honey.

Mix the seasonings so the carrots are evenly coated with olive oil and the remaining seasonings. Top with a pad of butter and roast at 400F for 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender!

RECIPE TIPS

COOKING TIMES MAY VARY!
Depending on your oven and the size of your carrots, cooking times may vary. If possible, use similar size carrots to ensure even cooking throughout and check them occasionally until they are roasted and tender to your liking!

SPREAD THE INGREDIENTS EVENLY IN THE PAN!
The key tip here is making sure the ingredients are spread evenly throughout the pan. You want to give the carrots enough space to evenly roast, otherwise the cooking make be uneven.
