Ingredients
- 1½ pounds Carrots
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- Parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray the roasting pan with nonstick spray to help with cleanup.
- Mix oil, honey, and salt together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the peeled carrots, making sure each carrot is covered on all sides with this mixture.
- Roast in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes until carrots are tender. I do turn them using tongs around the 15 minute mark.
- I check by cutting into them with a sharp knife.Roasting Tip - The Time needed for roasting will depend on how thick the carrots are and how soft you want them to be.
- Serve immediately after optional garnishing. I usually sprinkle some chopped parsley for color and add some whole parsley sprigs to make the serving plate look pretty.
Notes
Carrots can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. I don't freeze these because they get too soft after frozen, and my freezer space is too valuable for an inexpensive (but delicious) vegetable.
Use up the leftovers instead. Eat them as a side with another dish cut them and use them in salads, or puree the roasted carrots and add them to a soup.
