Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs carrots (whole or baby)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Equipment

  • vegetable peeler
  • cutting board and knife
  • medium saucepan
  • baking sheet
  • spatula
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Peel and trim the carrots. Slice into sticks or rounds if using large carrots; baby carrots can be left whole.
  2. (Optional) Blanch carrots in boiling water for 3–4 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon (if using), and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and bubbly.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with the glaze.
  5. Toss carrots to coat evenly, then roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  6. (Optional) Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra caramelization.

Notes

Use rainbow carrots for a colorful twist. For a spicier version, add a pinch of paprika or nutmeg. Optional broiling at the end gives extra caramelization. Pairs beautifully with roasted meats, lentil loaf, or grain bowls.
