Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots , peeled
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp balsamico vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tbsp butter , melted
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • parsley , for garnish

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the carrots into even pieces to ensure consistent cooking and proper texture.
  • In a bowl, combine the carrots with honey, balsamic vinegar, ginger powder, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well so every piece is evenly coated.
  • Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 20–30 minutes, turning once, until tender and lightly caramelized. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper roasting.
  • Remove from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. The glaze should be glossy and balanced—serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Storage tips:
Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the carrots for up to 3 months.
Reheating tips:
Warm the carrots in the microwave until heated through, or gently reheat in a pan over medium heat to bring back some of the glaze.
