Sugar Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2 by 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat and Prep the Pan

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 475°F.

Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat for 10 minutes.

Toss and Arrange the Carrots

In a medium bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven and spread the carrots in a single layer on it.

Roast Until Tender and Caramelized

Roast the carrots for about 15 minutes, until the bottoms start to brown.

Remove the pan, toss the carrots to redistribute them, and roast for another 3 minutes until tender and deep amber in color.

Serve immediately.
