Ingredients

  • 2 lb carrots peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp dijon whole mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves pressed
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves picked

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oil, honey, mustard, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the peeled carrots and toss with your hands until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the carrots to your prepared baking sheet and reserve the honey-mustard mixture left at the bottom of the bowl to use after the carrots have cooked.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove and bash with the remaining honey-mustard glaze and place on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme.

Notes

  • The recommended bake time for this recipe is 20 to 25 minutes. This can vary a bit depending on the thickness of the carrots. If you’re using carrots that are smaller and thinner, like in the pictures, they will cook faster than larger carrots.
  • For maximum flavor, we do NOT recommend using pre-cut baby carrots that come packaged. Those types of carrots usually don’t have as much flavor as whole carrots.
  • If you'd like to get a head start on this recipe, you can peel the carrots, make the sauce, and go ahead and toss the carrots in the honey mustard mixture for about 4 to 6 hours before you plan to cook and serve.
