Honey glazed carrots roasted to perfection, tossed in butter + fresh herbs. The easiest (and tastiest) side dish to any meal!
This has been my go-to side dish for weeks now, and they will definitely be making an appearance in our Easter spread. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s oh-so-buttery with the lightest honey glaze.
It truly is the most perfect side dish to any meal – to any dinner or any holiday gathering. And it’s not heavy at all. Nope, it’s simply perfection.
You can keep the carrots whole or slice them to your liking. You can also add other fresh herbs, like dill or rosemary. You simply can’t go wrong here. You just can’t.

Looks wonderful. I haven’t tried them yet, but will soon.
These are outstading, I’ve made 3 times in the past 2 weeks. My husband swears they are just like his dear old Mom’s!!!
Made these twice now since you posted! They are indeed perfect. I used the bags of mixed color carrots from Trader Joe’s..these are gorgeous and delicious!
Looks like a great carrot side dish. I’m confused on Steps 4 & 5 stirring instructions with whole carrots. Do you roast carrots first , then slice them up to stir additional honey, thyme, butter & S&P?
Will definitely try this! Possibly with baby carrots. Would be a lot easier on the stirring than big carrots.
I’m a little confused. Â Do you take the carrots out and toss them with the honey or do you drizzle the honey on them? TIAÂ
