Oven Roasted Honey Glazed Cinnamon Carrots
These delicious carrots are a perfect side for any meal and are simply made by cutting up carrots into chunks then adding honey, cumin, cinnamon, salt and baking on a sheet pan in the oven! My kids love these oven baked carrots and asking for seconds is a guarantee!
Equipment
- 1 Sheet pan
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 sheet of parchment paper Optional
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Carrots 8-9 medium carrots
- 1.5 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2-1 tsp Black pepper based on your taste preference
- 2-3 cloves Minced Garlic Optional
- 1-1.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika Optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 425F
- These oven roasted carrots need to be prepped. If needed, cut off the tops. No need to peel, you can just wash them well and use a vegetable brush to get any rough spots off.
- Cut carrots into 2" cylinders. Cut any thick portions in half vertically to ensure all of the carrots cook at a similar rate.
- Place carrots in a large mixing bowl. Toss well with the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, cumin, (optional) paprika & (optional) minced garlic. Make sure to mix well to evenly coat the carrot slices.
- Spread them on a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Parchment paper is optional, but will be a lot easier to clean up afterwards than trying to get the glazed honey off of a bare sheet pan.
- Place the carrots into the 425°F oven and roast for 17-25 minutes. The carrots are done when they are fork-tender and nicely browned, but are not mushy.
- If needed, season to taste with fresh parsley or additional salt and pepper. Let cool for 1-2 minutes and enjoy (our family sure did!).
