Large baking tray
Mixing bowl
Knife
Chopping board
Small whisk or fork
Spatula or spoon

Ingredients

1 kg Carrots peeled
2 Tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
4 Tablespoons Good-quality honey
2 Tablespoons Fresh orange juice
2 Sprigs Fresh rosemary
pinch Sea salt
Pinch Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Trim and peel the carrots if needed. If the carrots are large, cut them in half lengthways so they cook evenly.
1 kg Carrots
Place the carrots onto a large baking tray. Drizzle over the olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss well to coat.
2 Tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil, pinch Sea salt, Pinch Freshly ground black pepper
Spread the carrots out in a single layer and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until they are just starting to soften and lightly brown.
While the carrots are roasting, mix the honey and fresh orange juice together in a small bowl until well combined.
4 Tablespoons Good-quality honey, 2 Tablespoons Fresh orange juice
Finely chop the rosemary leaves, discarding the woody stems.
2 Sprigs Fresh rosemary
Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle over the honey and orange mixture. Sprinkle over the chopped rosemary and toss everything gently to coat.
Return the tray to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender, caramelised, and glossy.
Serve warm.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Cut evenly. Similar-sized carrots ensure even cooking.
Don’t overcrowd the tray. Give the carrots space so they roast rather than steam.
Add the honey later. This prevents it from burning during cooking.
Use fresh rosemary. It adds a fragrant, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with honey.
Extra flavour. Add a pinch of chilli flakes for a sweet and spicy twist.
Make ahead. Roast the carrots in advance, then reheat and glaze before serving.
Serving idea. Perfect as a side for roast dinners or holiday meals.
