    This is going to be hard to believe but there are some days, I crave vegetables over something sweet. During the week, I prepare veggies in so many different ways. I broil them, grill them, sauté them and roast them.  In the winter months, roasting is probably my favorite preparation method. It just brings out so much flavor!

    My husband loves these honey roasted carrots. Whenever I roast vegetables in the oven, I use my Silpat baking mat. It makes clean up SO easy. I drizzle the carrots with some olive oil and honey and then flavor them with some thyme and a little bit of salt.

    It's the perfect flavor combination.

    The honey helps caramelize them a bit in the oven and they come out tasting sweet and delicious. Would you believe they're even better the next day? They are. These bright orange beauties only take 30 minutes in the oven and go well as a side to chicken, ribs, beef - you name it! They're so worth it and I'm betting you're going to love these honey roasted carrots, too!

    I can't wait to hear from those of you who try them!

    Ingredients

    • 3 pounds carrots
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Clean and slice the carrots diagonally in 1 ½-inch-thick slices.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the carrots with the oil, honey, salt, and thyme until well-coated.
    • Arrange in an even layer and bake in the oven until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
    • Allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes.

    Notes

    1. Uniform Slicing: Aim for uniform slicing of the carrots to ensure even cooking. This helps prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked. Diagonal slicing not only looks appealing but also allows for more surface area to caramelize, enhancing flavor.
    2. Mind the Temperature: Keep an eye on the carrots towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning. Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust the cooking time accordingly if you notice the carrots are browning too quickly. You want them to be caramelized and tender, not burnt.
    3. Enhance Flavor: Experiment with additional herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of your honey roasted carrots. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of chili powder for a sweet and spicy kick. Fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley can also add a burst of freshness to the dish.

      Our son got us an air fryer for Christmas and I was searching for recipes and came upon your whole chicken. I used your spice recipe and the chicken was amazingly juicy and delicious! I've never been a big fan of carrots but your honey roasted carrot recipe sounded good so I thought I would make those too. I really liked them a lot and will definitely be making both again.

        I've not cooked potatoes, carrots and my chicken at the same time in the air fryer. Normally, I'll put my chicken in there and make the sides in the oven. There are tons of air fryer cookbooks available on Amazon.
