Honey-Ginger Roasted Carrots

Rose McAvoy
Fresh carrots coated in a spicy sweet glaze of honey and ginger and roasted until just tender. An excellent addition to a holiday meal and simple enough for a weeknight. Steaming the carrots before roasting allows them to cook evenly in less time.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh carrots peeled
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 inch ginger grated (or more to taste)
  • salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450F
  • Cut the carrots into 3 inch lengths - halve any pieces thicker than 1 inch. Arrange the carrots in a shallow microwave safe dish. Cover the dish and microwave on high for 4 minutes, just until a fork easily pierces the thickest pieces. Drain any water. Toss the hot carrots with the butter, honey, ginger, salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until the glaze caramelizes on the carrots. Keep watch, the honey will want to burn. Remove the roasted carrots immediately.
  • Add additional salt and pepper to taste before serving warm.
