🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for getting that perfect caramelization on the carrots. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!
- Wash and peel the carrots: Give those carrots a good scrub under cold water. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Don't worry about getting them perfectly smooth; a few little imperfections add character!
- Chop the carrots: Cut the carrots into 1-inch thick pieces. I prefer slightly thicker pieces for better roasting; thinner ones might get too soft.
- Prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey is melted and the mixture is slightly warm. Don't boil it!
- Toss the carrots: Add the chopped carrots to the saucepan and toss gently to coat them evenly with the honey-rosemary glaze. Make sure every carrot gets a little love!
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd them; this ensures even cooking and browning.
- Roast the carrots: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Optional broil: For extra caramelization, broil for the last minute or two, but watch closely to avoid burning! It's a gamble, but so worth it!
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the carrots cool slightly. Serve warm. They are delicious as a side dish to roasted chicken, pork, or fish. Enjoy! (And maybe share a few...)
📝 Notes
