Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots

Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots - Family Fresh Meals - Carrots plated

Hi, I’m Corey, and I’m a honey garlic addict.

It all started innocently enough, when I created these Honey Garlic Crockpot Meatballs. That honey-garlic sauce was so good, I went on to try it with cocktail weenies and Polish sausage. I even worked that delicious honey-garlic combo into a shrimp lo mein recipe.

For a while, I thought I’d managed to kick the honey garlic habit. A few years went by, and I hadn’t used it in any new recipes. But just recently, the craving hit me again. I just had to do something with honey and garlic!

I couldn’t fight it, so I did the next best thing: I put that honey garlic magic to work in a healthy recipe. I sliced up two whole pounds of carrots – a nutrition-packed veggie that’s just as good in the winter as in the summer. Then I tossed them with a glaze loaded with honey, garlic, and melted butter. And then I gave them a nice, slow oven roasting, so they cooked up nice and tender and had plenty of time to soak up all that honey-garlic goodness.

These Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots make a festive side dish that’s great for a holiday meal, or to perk up an ordinary weekday dinner. And they’re proof that honey garlic sauce is one habit-forming substance you can actually feel good about.

    This carrot recipe was really, really tasty. I will definitely make this one again. My hubby who says he doesn’t like honey said this recipe was really good.

    1. So happy you both loved it!
