Honey Ginger Roasted Carrots

Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut in half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 navel orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Fill a large stockpot with water, add a pinch of salt and place over high heat to bring to a rolling boil. Prepare a bowl with ice-cold water. Add the carrots to the boiling water and blanch for 3 minutes. Remove carrots from the pot and place into ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. 
  3. Prepare the glaze by adding all remaining ingredients into a large bowl. Toss the carrots in the glaze and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until carrots are tender (depending on the size of your carrots), turning once during cooking (I prefer a little bite to my carrots). If your carrots are in the thinner size check for doneness halfway through the cooking time.
  4. Remove from oven, place on a plate and serve.

Tip: You can skip the blanching process and roast for 18-20 minutes.
