Honey Herb Roasted Carrots Recipe
These Herb Roasted Carrots are cut into thin sticks so they roast in about 25 minutes, with crisp, caramelized edges and tender middles. Fresh rosemary, thyme, and just a touch of honey mean you don’t have to choose sweet or savory. Easy enough for a Tuesday, pretty enough for the holiday table.

Notes
- Vegan: Swap the honey for pure maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Dried herbs: Use ¼ teaspoon dried herbs in place of the fresh rosemary and thyme.
- Whole carrots: Roast whole carrots at 400°F for 40 to 50 minutes, until a fork slides right in.
- Cut evenly: Keep the sticks about the same size so they all finish roasting at the same time.
- Make ahead: Peel and cut the carrots a day or two early, then keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to roast.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheating: Warm in a 400°F oven for a few minutes to bring back some crisp edges. A skillet or microwave works too, they’ll just be a little softer.
- Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Fair warning, they’ll be noticeably softer after thawing, but still tasty.
