Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrots

A deliciously sweet and tangy side dish featuring roasted carrots glazed with honey and balsamic vinegar, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. carrots, washed & peeled (or unpeeled)
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice both ends off your carrots and cut them diagonally into thirds or roughly 1½ inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and your oil.
  4. Pour this mixture over your carrots. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and cracked black pepper. Toss everything until the carrots are well coated.
  5. Spread the carrots on the prepared pan and reserve the liquid in your bowl.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender, brushing the reserved liquid over the carrots during the last 5-10 minutes.
  7. Once done, mix the remaining balsamic vinegar with honey and drizzle this over the roasted carrots. Adjust seasonings as needed and serve immediately, optionally sprinkling with goat cheese.

Notes

For even cooking, cut all carrot pieces to the same size. You can also add other veggies like parsnips or sweet potatoes for a mixed roasted veggie dish.
