Tender perfectly roasted carrot in honey and spice mixture is definitely a popular side dish. The warm spices and nuts gives the dish a holiday vibe and are perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The roasted carrots, crisp on the outside and soft inside, along with a hint of cinnamon, garlic, and pepper taste just so balanced and good. The shiny glaze of honey on the carrots looks just wow.
Like every persistent mom out there, with a picky kid, it’s a struggle sometimes to ask your kid to finish all the veggies on the plate. Can’t blame the kids though, since I as a kid wasn’t any different :).
It becomes so important to keep coming up with ideas to present veggies in the best way you can. Just to keep vegetables interesting so eating it doesn’t become a chore and boring.

How to make honey-glazed roasted carrots
- Toss the carrot in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oil.
- Roast the carrots in the oven until half cooked.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, honey, and cinnamon with roughly chopped pecans.
- Toss the roasted carrots with the mix until the honey glaze coats the carrots very well.
- If you toss it with honey and butter in the first step itself, the honey will caramelize much earlier than the carrots roast and it will burn.
- Baked for another 12 minutes until u see caramelization
