You get tender, sweet, and slightly caramelized baby carrots coated in a simple honey garlic glaze. This easy roasted baby carrots recipe is a quick weeknight vegetable side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the baby carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast the carrots for 15 minutes.
  4. While the carrots roast, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce until combined.
  5. Remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the carrots and toss gently right on the sheet pan until every piece is coated.
  6. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch closely during this stage to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before you serve your simple side dish recipe.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, substitute 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar for 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce in the glaze.
  • If you prefer a more savory profile, skip the honey and use 1 tablespoon of brown sugar instead, making these garlic roasted vegetables.
  • These are kid friendly vegetable recipes; if your children are picky, skip the garlic and use only honey and butter for a simple honey glazed carrots version.
