Honey Roasted Carrots

These honey roasted carrots are a great side dish for any occasion! Caramelized honey and fresh thyme make it extra addicting.

I love having easy sides in my back pocket for meal time. Keeping things new and exciting with vegetables is also important for the boys! I’ve been cooking honey roasted carrots for ages, and it truly is one of those comforting side dishes that goes with so many diverse dishes. Plus, I can cook it all year round! These flavour never go out of style.

How Long to Roast Carrots?

I roasted mine for 25-30 minutes (adding honey half way through) or until a good char and caramelization was on them. Keep in mind that thinner your carrots are, the faster they will cook! If you got a bag of the thinner carrots, consider cutting back the time as needed.

Although you can leave it off if you prefer, the fresh thyme gives the perfect flavour to contrast the sweet honey!
