These Balsamic Roasted Carrots are tender, caramelized, and full of sweet–tangy flavor. Fresh carrots are tossed in a simple balsamic, olive oil, and honey glaze, then roasted until golden and irresistible. They make an easy, nutritious side dish that pairs perfectly with weeknight meals or holiday spreads — and come together with just a handful of pantry staples.
