Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish
  • As needed parsley, thyme or other herbs for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sheet pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F (220C). Cut the carrots on a diagonal, about 1 to 1 ½ inches in length. If your carrots are large and thick, slice them in half.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced carrots with the honey, garlic, butter, oil, and spices.
  3. Pour the carrots and glaze onto a sheet pan and spread them out evenly.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the carrots halfway through the cooking time. You can broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end to get caramelization on the edges.
  5. Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped herbs before serving.

Notes

For storage, place leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze them for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat them simply in the microwave until warmed through. Use a heavy duty sheet pan when roasting vegetables so the pan does not warp.
