For almost nine years my youngest has claimed he doesn’t like carrots, until he tried these Honey Ginger Roasted carrots. I’m right there with him. This is now my absolute favorite way to cook carrots!

Recipe Tips

• Line Your Pan: To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. The glaze can be quite sticky!
• Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your carrots, cooking times may vary. Check for tenderness by piercing with a fork.
• Stir Midway: Turn the carrots halfway through roasting to ensure even caramelization.
• Garnish Thoughtfully: A sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs like parsley can add a nice finishing touch.

Storage & Reheating

• Storage: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally.

Variations

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the glaze for a spicy twist.
• Citrus Zest: Incorporate a bit of orange or lemon zest into the glaze for a fresh, citrusy note.
• Herb Infusion: Mix in chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth of flavor.
• Nutty Addition: Sprinkle toasted chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, over the finished dish for extra texture.
