These Honey Glazed Carrots with Garlic and Thyme – Easy Oven Roasted Recipe. You will want these on your table for every occasion! Easy enough for weeknights and fancy enough for the holidays.
We oven roasted these carrots to get the most flavor we could out of this simple carrot dish. But you can also blanch them if you want a softer carrot. Either way they are perfect. With a touch of honey and a hint of garlic and thyme these are the perfect Holiday Side Dish!
Let’s get started – this is going to go quickly –
Chop your garlic and fresh thyme and set aside.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut large 3 inch pieces of the carrots keeping them as uniform in size as possible. This will help them cook up all at the same time.
Line a sheet pan with foil for easy clean up. Add the carrots.
Drizzle with the butter, honey, garlic and Thyme and a big sprinkle of salt. Toss and in the oven they go!
Roast for about 30 minutes until fork tender and serve. Now thats an easy vegetable side dish!
Tips to make Honey Glazed Carrots with Garlic and Thyme:
- DO NOT USE CANNED CARROTS. They won’t have the texture nor the taste that makes these so delicious. Do peel the carrots. The skins can be bitter.
- Fresh chopped garlic and thyme really make all the difference. Try not to use dehydrated or dried- you’ll be dissapointed with the flavor
- I used Kerrygold butter; it’s delicious and so fresh- but any butter will do just fine.
- I sliced my carrots into 3 inch on the bias so it looks kinda fancy. But simple rounds will work just as well. You’ll want to reduce the cook time to about 20 minutes if the pieces of carrot are smaller.
- Not a fan of roasting? Try blanching. Simmer in water for about 15 minutes until soft. Drain and add to a sheet pan. Toss with honey, garlic thyme and salt. Roast at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until glazed and slightly charred.
