These Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots have a delicious glaze on them and come out with just a little crunch in the middle. We all know how good carrots are for you so I won't go into the nutritional benefits of carrots in this post.

Notes

→ Baby carrots simply refer to young, thinner carrots that are not tough or woody. They can often be found in the organic section of your grocery store.

→ If you want to use different carrots then cut extra thick carrots in half lengthwise and adjust cooking time carrots are done when they are fork tender or roast longer for more caramelization.

→ If you use thinner carrots, you might not want to use foil because the carrots will caramelize better in the shorter roasting time without foil.

→ When you stir at 20 minutes, the glaze will have liquefied and there will seem like a lot of moisture but the carrots will absorb the moisture/glaze as they continue cooking.

Made these honey roasted garlic carrots for company tonight. Everyone just loved them, and was asked for the recipe. They were very easy to make, as I made the sauce in advance then incorporated the carrots in when it was time to put them in the oven. Will definately make them again.
