Need a sweet, yet savory side dish for your next meal? These rosemary honey ginger glazed carrots are sure to please, any time of year! 

Carrots of any sort can make an easy side dish. They can go from a cold bar with dips, in a lunch bag for on the go, to a hot side dish with ease. There’s not much to dislike about them, truly. 

Carrots are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and are a favorite for many. Who could not love carrots?

When I was younger, my mother would make them smothered with butter, brown sugar and cook the carrots until they were nearly unrecognizable. Now that I am grown up, I think these oven baked carrots are a much better way to enjoy this sweet veggie.

What kind of carrots do I need?

You can use any size carrots for this dish. I like the “full length” carrots at the store, but baby carrots will work just fine as well.

Don’t want the huge carrots? No problem. You can take the larger carrots and cut them down as well.

What will the texture be? I don’t like mushy carrots.

The texture of these carrots is not mushy at all. They are still lightly crisp with a delicate flavor balance. Roasted vegetables are still tender, and have all the sweetness you crave in comfort food.

How do you get carrots that are tender without the mush? Allowing them the time to roast with the honey to carmelize brings out the baked carrots sweetness. Adding in the balance of fresh rosemary and ginger kicks these up a notch and a half.
