If you love oven-roasted veggies, this easy honey roasted carrot recipe will become your new favorite. Carrots are roasted whole in the oven with the most addictive honey glaze.
If you’re a carrot lover, I also highly recommend you make these pickled carrots (they’re so, so good!).

Pin ItHow to Make Honey Roasted Carrots
- Prep the Carrots. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and trim the carrots, then lay them out on a baking sheet. If they’re really thick, you can slice them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly.
- Coat and Season. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the mixture over the carrots and toss until they’re evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
- Roast and Serve. Roast the carrots for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re tender and caramelized around the edges. Serve warm, and maybe drizzle a little extra honey on top if you like things sweet.
