This recipe provides simple instructions for roasting colorful rainbow carrots on a single sheet pan with a sweet honey glaze until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb rainbow carrots, scrubbed and trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed rainbow carrots with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the honey and sprinkle the thyme leaves over the carrots. Gently toss the carrots on the pan to coat them with the honey mixture.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the honey has caramelized slightly.
  7. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • For best caramelization, ensure the carrots are not overcrowded on the sheet pan. Use two pans if necessary.
  • If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, substitute rosemary for thyme.
  • Cut thicker carrots in half lengthwise so all pieces cook evenly.
