  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Carrots

  • 1 pound peeled carrots

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp melted butter or ghee
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425º Fahrenheit (220º Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting your carrots evenly.
  2. Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them in half lengthwise if they are thick. Then slice each half into 2-3 inch pieces. Arrange the carrots in a baking dish so they lie evenly without overlapping, allowing for uniform roasting.
  3. Make the sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter or ghee over medium heat. Add the honey, minced garlic, ground coriander, dried thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let this mixture gently simmer for about 3 minutes to meld the flavors, then remove from heat.
  4. Coat the carrots: Pour the warm sauce over the prepared carrots. Toss them gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated in the flavorful sauce.
  5. Roast the carrots: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Halfway through, remove the dish and stir the carrots to promote even cooking and caramelization, then return to the oven to finish roasting until fork-tender.
  6. Broil for finishing touch: After roasting, switch your oven to broil and cook the carrots for an additional 2-3 minutes. This step adds a lovely browned and slightly charred edge, enhancing both flavor and texture.
  7. Serve: Garnish the roasted carrots with fresh sprigs of thyme or chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, aromatic finish.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute butter or ghee with olive oil and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Adjust chili powder according to your preferred spice level.
  • To save time, prepared pre-peeled carrots or baby carrots can be used, but adjust roasting time if needed.
  • These roasted carrots pair wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian main dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
