Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into uniformly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and honey, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the warm sugar glaze over the carrots, gently tossing to coat them evenly.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Sugar Glazed Roasted Carrots!
