Why I love these roasted carrots:

  • Simple Elegance – These are the best roasted carrots that are so simple to make, inexpensive, and have a delicious flavor that’s different than others.
  • Easy – Just a few minutes to prep then they can be roasting in the oven while you make your dinner.
  • Versatile – Serve these balsamic carrots with practically anything! I love to eat it with Prime Rib, Meatloaf, Chicken Casserole, and always my Thanksgiving Turkey!

How to make Balsamic Roasted Carrots:

Prep Carrots: Remove stem from carrots (optional–If they have long green stems, I think they look pretty!)) then slice in half, lengthwise.

Flavor: Arrange carrots on baking sheet then toss with oil, balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of honey, and salt and pepper.

Roast for about 20 minutes, then remove from oven. Turn carrots to coat in remaining drippings, drizzle a little more honey, rosemary and thyme over the top then toss.

Finish: Use a paper towel to soak up any residual fluids on the bottom of the pan then return to oven for 20-30 more minutes, or until roasted carrots are tender and caramelized.

Notes

Carrots: You want all the carrots to be similar size and thickness, so they cook evenly. If any carrots are extra large/thick, cut them in quarters, or very thin carrots may be left whole. For baby carrots, roast for 18-20 minutes.

Air Fryer Roasted Carrots: Cook at 400 degrees for 9-12 minutes
