Honey-Roasted Carrots

 

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

• 2 pounds carrots, diagonally sliced into 2-inch pieces

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

• Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

• Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Stir oil, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add carrots; toss to coat. Spread the carrots on the prepared pan; roast until almost tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, melt honey and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.

  4. Remove the carrots from the oven; drizzle with the honey mixture and toss to coat. Continue roasting until charred and tender, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with any honey mixture from the pan; sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
