Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots peeled
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Fresh parsley thyme, or other herbs for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut carrots on a diagonal into 1–1.5 inch slices. If thick, slice in half lengthwise for even cooking.
  3. Make glaze: In a bowl, mix honey, garlic, butter, olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat carrots in the glaze, then spread evenly on a heavy-duty sheet pan.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  6. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra caramelized edges.
  7. Serve on a platter and garnish with herbs if desired.
