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.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into ⅛-inch diagonal slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley, fresh thyme, or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add carrots to the baking sheet and pour the glaze over them. Toss with your hands or a spatula until fully coated. Spread out in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway, until the carrots are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  5. Garnish with fresh herbs or flaky sea salt before serving.
