Helpful Tips
For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the carrots before roasting. For a more savory note, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar. If fresh parsley isn’t available, dried parsley will work in a pinch.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet over medium heat to maintain their texture.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have honey, maple syrup is a fantastic alternative. Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for a fresh twist.
Pairings
Honey-Glazed Carrots pair beautifully with roasted turkey, chicken, or ham. Add a fresh green salad or some creamy mashed potatoes to round out your meal. Complement your festive feast with a glass of chilled Riesling or a warm spiced cider.
