The most delicious sweet roasted carrots

New side alert! The perfect side dish is here, and just in time for all of the autumn feels and the Thanksgiving side dishes. Oven roasted honey carrots. Oh man, these things are a treat! Made with honey, garlic, and parsley, these carrots are baked and then tossed with extra flavorings for a salty but sweet glazed result.

These are the perfect side for pairing with essentially any main course, and their flavorings make them great for including in this year’s Thanksgiving lineup. Let’s dig into the how-to!

Ingredients in oven honey roasted carrots

We’ll be flavoring the carrots with a range of ingredients from olive oil and honey to garlic and more spices!

  • Carrots: Start with 3 lbs of carrots. They need to be peeled and sliced on a diagonal.
  • Olive oil: Next, use 1/4 cup of olive oil. This will help the carrots reach a nice glaze and will help the other spices and ingredients stick.
  • Honey: Flavor things up with 1/4 cup of your favorite brand of honey.
  • Garlic: 3 cloves of minced garlic will add a delicious, intense flavor to the carrots.
  • Parsley: 2 tbsp of fresh, chopped parsley will add a nice herby flavor.
  • Salt & Pepper: Finish things off with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper.
  • For tossing: Finally, toss with 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp of olive oil.

The tools you’ll need to make these carrots

To make oven roasted carrots you will need a baking sheet, parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, and stirring and tossing utensils. For measuring, set aside the following sized cups: 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, and 1/4 cup.

How to make roasted honey glazed carrots

Honey roasted carrots are as easy as peel, bake, and toss!

To begin, preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the carrots, olive oil, honey, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Toss to coat the carrots and then put them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10.

Add 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan, and then toss. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

Top with fresh parsley and serve!

Ingredient swap options

Missing an ingredient or two? Here are some easy swaps that you can use in these honey roasted garlic carrots. Try to use no more than one swap, as too many may change the final result.

Olive Oil
If you find your bottle of olive oil to be empty, you can opt for butter or vegan butter instead! These will still help the carrots achieve that nice glaze.

Honey
Out of honey? You can use maple syrup! Though the flavor will be slightly different, this option will still create a nice sweet glaze on the carrots. I recommend starting with less than 1/4 cup and adding more to taste as needed.

Add-ons
For extra flavor, you can use anything from rosemary and red pepper flakes (for extra heat) to a sprinkling of brown sugar or cinnamon!

If you liked this recipe, you’ll want to try these!

Roasted honey glazed carrots work well with any type of main course. Here are some ideas!

  • Healthy Penne Alla Vodka with Chicken
  • Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry
  • Cajun Parmesan Salmon
