Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs thin baby carrots with tops trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • To taste: Salt and pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon rosemary

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Cast Iron Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots if desired. Cut off the tops.
  3. In a mixing bowl, drizzle the carrots with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the carrots.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a large cast iron skillet. Arrange the seasoned carrots in a single layer.
  5. In a small saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, honey, rosemary, Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
  6. Add butter to the saucepan and let it melt into the glaze. Remove from heat.
  7. Brush each carrot with the balsamic glaze using a pastry brush or spoon. Spoon any remaining glaze over the carrots.
  8. Place the baking sheet or cast iron skillet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Agave Nectar: Substitute agave nectar for honey if needed.
Fresh Whole Carrots: Use fresh whole carrots for the best flavor. If unavailable, store-bought carrots or baby carrots are acceptable.
Peeling Carrots: While peeling is optional, you can skip it for added nutrition, as the peel provides more fiber. Give the carrots a good scrub and remove any blemishes.
