If you are looking for a quick and festive side dish, you’ve come to the right place. With only 5 minutes of prep, these sweet, honey maple glazed carrots complement any dish on the table.

Start with about two pounds of carrots. I try to buy carrots that aren’t too big because they take longer to cook. Place carrots onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and pour the ingredients for the glaze over the top.

You can combine the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl first or just add them as you go. Make sure the carrots are dry, as this helps the glaze stick better. Use your hands to rub the glaze over the carrots and sprinkle with fresh thyme and rosemary. This is a great recipe for experimenting with fresh herbs because you can’t go wrong with the type you sprinkle on top, so use any fresh herbs you find locally.

Finish with salt and pepper, then pop them in the oven. The roasting creates a candied glaze and tenderizes the carrots while deepening the flavor and sweetness. Before removing the carrots from the oven, check them with a fork by poking into the thickest part to make sure they are tender. If the fork pokes through easily, they’re ready!

Serve these carrots alongside chicken and beef dishes year round. The glaze can also be used on other vegetables like sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash.
