HONEY GLAZED CARROTS
These honey-glazed carrots are an easy sheet pan recipe that turns into a flavorful, sweet, and savory side dish. They transform the everyday carrot into a show-stopping sweet and savory side dish (that’s also highly addictive).

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE HONEY GLAZE
While roasting carrots bring out a subtle sweetness, this easy honey glaze takes it to the next level.
- Honey: You can use clover, wildflower, or any variety of honey you like.
- Garlic: A little bit of minced garlic perfectly balances the sweetness.
- Butter: Helps to give carrots that glossy finish and rich flavor. Ghee works great too.
- Olive oil: Just a little bit helps to prevent the butter from burning.
- Ground spices: I love ginger and cinnamon which play nicely with the carrots’ sweetness.
- Fresh herbs: For a fresh pop of color and flavor just before serving.
