These honey roasted carrots are a delicious and easy to make side dish that your family is sure to love.

I make dinner for my family almost every night. Sometimes, finding a side dish that everybody likes can be challenging.

Im especially always looking for vegetable recipes that my two picky little boys will eat. Which, if I’m being honest, isn’t an easy task.

These carrots hit all of the marks. They were super easy to make and so sweet and delicious, too.

The best part about this recipe is that it can be served with just about anything.

We’ve made this recipe to complement everything from a casual diner at home to important holidays like Easter and Thanksgiving.

The carrots are so tender with just the right amount of seasoning and the honey gives they the perfect amour of sweetness.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love them just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Honey Roasted Carrots Variations

I like this recipe for roasted carrots made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Carrots- cleaned and peeled sliced carrots or baby carrots would both be ok to use for this recipe.
• Honey- it’s ok to swap the honey for maple syrup.
