These sweet and savory Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Carrots are roasted until tender and caramelized. They're the perfect, easy side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, plus every weeknight in between!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds whole carrots
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, trim and slice your carrots.  You want the carrots to all be about the same thickness so that they cook evenly.  Don't slice them too thin though!  The carrots will shrink while they're roasting.  
  3. Melt the butter in the microwave.  Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, honey, olive oil and minced garlic in a small mixing bowl to make the glaze.  If the glaze is still really thick and not easy to pour, pop it into the microwave for 30-60 seconds.  This will dissolve the brown sugar and make it very easy to drizzle onto the carrots.   
  4. Lay the sliced carrots out on the parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer.  Drizzle the carrots with the brown sugar honey glaze.  
  5. Bake the glazed carrots for 25-35 minutes at 400°F.  Part way through cooking time, give the carrots a good stir.  Start checking them at 25 minutes.  Continue cooking until the carrots are fork tender and caramelized.  
  6. When finished, remove the carrots from the oven, season with salt and fresh thyme to taste, and enjoy!
