Tender and sweet honey-roasted carrots glazed with olive oil and honey, then baked to perfection. This effortless side dish pairs beautifully with any main course and brings a touch of elegance to your table.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish large enough to hold the carrots in a single layer.
Prepare the carrots: Arrange the peeled carrots in the baking dish. Drizzle them evenly with olive oil and toss gently to ensure each carrot is fully coated.
Add the honey glaze: Drizzle the honey over the carrots, ensuring an even distribution. Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper to taste. Toss again to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze and seasoning.
Bake the carrots: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. If softer carrots are preferred, extend the baking time by 5–10 minutes, checking periodically.
Serve: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow the carrots to rest for a minute. Serve warm, drizzling any remaining glaze from the dish over the top before serving.
