Honey brings such a pleasant sweetness to these carrots in this easy recipe. These roasted honey glazed carrots are the perfect side dish for any meal.
I made this recipe last week as a side dish to our dinner. It turned out fantastic and I wanted to share it with you. Even though I used basic ingredients, the roasted carrots had such a wonderful flavor. Roasting them caramelizes the natural sugars and the honey just throws them over the top.
This recipe is not only easy and quick to put together but it is also packed with vitamins and minerals. Carrots are immune boosters and perfect for this flu season. So next time you are wondering what healthy side dish to cook, try these delicious carrots. Even the pickiest of eaters will gobble these up.
There are so many ways to eat carrots – cooked, sauteed, grilled, roasted, juiced, in smoothies, raw. I don’t remember ever seeing fried carrots though. The people here in the South are known for frying everything, so who knows. So, what is your favorite way to eat carrots?

Ingredients
- 5-6 large carrots
- 2 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Wash, peel and cut carrots in about 3 inch long pieces and half lengthwise. And if needed, half the halves again (I hope that makes sense).

- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Could you make this earlier in the day and then reheat in microwave at dinner time?
Oven space is limited for Thanksgiving dinner.
I added a couple of drops of liquid smoke. This was a way to use up carrots this time. I think I’ll buy some just for this recipe!
Absolutely Delicious and so easy to make!
Super easyrecipe and everyone loved it. I made a double batch for our dinner party thinking I would have some leftovers for lunch. Well, no leftovers but great compliments!
Awesome! So glad everyone loved it! 🙂
Ooooo these look so tasty! I love making honey glazed carrots for my Sunday Roasts but they never look this good. Looks like I’ve found myself a new recipe to follow!
I love the glossy honey glaze on these roasted carrots! Such a simple side dish to make, and I love how roasting intensifies the flavor of the carrots. These would be so perfect for Easter dinner.
Okay, nice for a snack as well
Been doing this for 20 years at least, it’s not new or American
My Nan used to do carrots like this, she grew her own, just washed them, cut em lengthways and put cooking fat on them, salt (no pepper) then covered them in honey
I still do it the way she did her’s
Carrots are good for you and rabbits, never seen a rabbit wearing glasses 😄👍
Yes, I agree with you, this is not an American recipe. People all over the world cook carrots the same way. I had to pick one cuisine, and since I can’t list all countries in the world on the recipe card, I chose to list American since I live in the US. 🙂
Loved to hear how your Nana used to make honey glazed carrots. Such a wonderful memory!
Don’t be petty, Derrick; just say thank you for the recipe, instead of getting into a contest about a recipe’s cultural origin.
