Create tender, caramelized baby carrots coated in a simple honey garlic glaze. This easy roasted baby carrots recipe delivers sweet and savory flavor, making it a reliable side dish for weeknight meals or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb baby carrots
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 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. Place the baby carrots in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes.
  5. While the carrots roast, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  6. Remove the carrots from the oven. Drizzle the honey garlic glaze over the carrots and toss gently right on the pan to coat them.
  7. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the edges show light caramelization.
  8. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, ensure your carrots are in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  • If you prefer a stronger savory flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme with the initial seasoning.
  • This recipe works well for quick oven roasted vegetables, needing only about 25 minutes of cook time.
