Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced into 1 ½ inch width
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fresh thyme leaves optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line and/or grease a large sheet pan.
- Peel your carrots. If carrots are thicker than 1 ½ inches at the widest point, slice in half lengthwise. Place in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together honey, melted butter, cinnamon, garlic powder, and salt. Pour over the carrots and toss them until well-coated.
- Place the carrots on the sheet pan in a single layer, and drizzle with any remaining honey mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until tender. Serve your cooked carrots with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Notes
- The honey in this recipe makes the carrots (especially the ends) stick to most sheet pans. We recommend heavily greasing or using parchment paper on even the most non-stick sheet pans to avoid the carrots sticking!
- Fresh thyme is optional but it really elevates the fall flavor of these carrots.
- We've had the best results using thinner carrots for this recipe, or cutting thicker carrots to 1 ½ inch thickness to avoid tough or undercooked carrots.
