Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the carrots evenly.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme if using. Mix well to create a smooth, sweet glaze.
  3. Coat the Carrots: Add the peeled and sliced carrots to the bowl with the glaze and toss thoroughly until all carrot pieces are well coated with the honey mixture.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the coated carrots in an even layer in a baking dish to ensure uniform cooking and caramelization.
  5. Bake the Carrots: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through the baking time to promote even cooking.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. This helps the glaze set and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze.
  • Cut carrots into fun shapes using a crinkle cutter or cookie cutters to please picky eaters.
  • Try adding 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the glaze for a savory twist.
  • Substitute maple syrup for honey for a different sweetness profile.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley for a fresh finish.
