How To Make Baked Honey Cinnamon Carrots
Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F.
STEP 2: In a small bowl, melt ¼ cup salted butter in the microwave. Now add ¼ cup honey and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Stir together.
STEP 3: Pat the 1 ½ lbs baby carrots dry with a paper towel. Place the carrots in a 9x13 baking dish. Now pour the sauce over the carrots and toss them to coat evenly.
STEP 4: Place the baking dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes (I baked mine for about 50 minutes), flipping the carrots halfway through.
STEP 5: The carrots are done when they are tender when poked with a fork.
Recipe Tips
- This recipe calls for baby carrots, which are naturally moister, so be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking.
- If you prefer a crispier result, you can always swap baby carrots out for regular carrots and chop them into thin strips.
- These roasted carrots are best served immediately while they’re still warm and tender. So try to serve right away!
How To Store Leftovers
- REFRIGERATE – Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- TO REHEAT - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Add carrots to a baking dish in a single layer and reheat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
