Felipe Cabral
Craving a side dish that will please everyone at the dinner table?
Introducing you to a delightful culinary experience featuring honey-glazed carrots with a unique twist of Avocado honey. This infusion is sure to be a hit. The natural sweetness of fresh carrots is enhanced by a quick glaze made with nutritious avocado honey. This simple recipe transforms plain carrots into an irresistible side dish that even picky eaters will devour.
The best part is that these tasty carrots provide a number of health benefits. The addition of Avocado honey not only enhances the flavor but also offers a powerful nutritional boost. Avocado honey contains antioxidants and minerals like iron that can help keep anemia and tiredness at bay. This makes it an ideal ingredient for families and anyone looking to incorporate more nutritious foods into their diet. The carrots also supply beta carotene, vitamin K, potassium and fiber.
“We love Avocado honey so much, not only because its delicious, but also because its super nutritious! Read our special piece below”
When shopping for carrots, opt for uniformly sized carrots to ensure even cooking time. You can use whole mature carrots, petite carrots or bite-sized baby-cut carrots. Experiment with different colors like orange, yellow, red and purple for a rainbow medley.
We make our sticky, sweet glaze from only a handful of ingredients: butter, honey, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. We love the combo of these simple household ingredients, but feel free to experiment! Swap out the garlic powder for minced garlic if you prefer, switch up your herbs, or add in some ginger or cinnamon to play up the carrots' natural sweetness.
Ingredients:
1/4 c. butter
2 tbsp. Avocado honey
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
15 carrots (2 lbs.), peeled and halved lengthwise
Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (Around 200C). In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Then, stir in the Avocado honey, rosemary, and garlic powder. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Next, arrange the peeled and halved carrots on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the melted honey glaze over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven until caramelized and glazed, about 35-40 minutes.
Finally, garnish with fresh thyme before serving for extra flavor, if desired. And that's it! Enjoy these irresistible honey-glazed carrots. If you made this recipe, let us know how they came out in the comments below!
