Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform sticks about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Place the carrot sticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the carrot sticks and toss again until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Arrange the seasoned carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
If desired, drizzle the roasted carrot sticks with a light touch of honey for added sweetness before serving.
Serve warm as a snack, side dish, or even a dessert. Enjoy!
