Roasted Honey Glazed Carrots with Rosemary Recipe
Our Instant Pot Candied Carrots are currently on high rotation in our house, which is not something I am ever going to complain about, but I thought I’d introduce a new way of enjoying carrots that uses honey as a natural sweetener and presents a more balanced flavor profile.
These honey roasted carrots are super simple to make, simply:
- chop carrots
- toss with glaze ingredients
- roast for 25 minutes
- serve
Rosemary adds a really unique flavor profile to these honey roasted carrots as it has a slightly lemony, peppery earthiness that nicely complements the rounded sweetness of the honey and the butter used in this recipe. The result is a balanced side dish that has a hint of balanced sweetness that adds something a bit indulgent to your meal, without feeling like you’re having dessert as a side dish.
You can swap out the rosemary for thyme, if desired.
These carrots are best enjoyed when freshly prepared but can be refrigerated and reheated, if needed. I find that the rosemary flavor becomes more pronounced with refrigeration so if you are planning to make these ahead, I would reduce the rosemary to less than what is called for in the recipe.
