Ingredients
Scale
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the carrots to a tender and caramelized finish.
- Arrange the carrots: Place the peeled carrots in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined, forming a flavorful honey butter glaze.
- Glaze the carrots: Use a pastry brush or spoon to evenly coat all sides of the carrots with the honey butter glaze, ensuring every carrot absorbs the sweet and spiced flavors.
- Roast the carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes, or until the carrots become tender when pierced with a fork and achieve a nice glaze.
- Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy their warm, glossy, and tender texture at its best.
Notes
- Choose carrots of similar size for even cooking.
- Use raw honey for a more natural sweetness.
- Adjust cinnamon amount according to preference; it adds warmth but should not overpower.
- These carrots can be served hot or at room temperature.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
