Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby Carrots
- 2 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- pinch Cinnamon
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by patting your carrots dry with a paper towel or cloth. Ensure they are free of any residual moisture to help them cook faster in the oven.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay in your carrots. *If you are planning on broiling your carrots at the end, use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper.
- Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and toss to coat your carrots.
- Once your carrots are coated, sprinkle with a little salt.
- Place your carrots in the oven on 400°F for 30-40 minutes or until your carrots are fork tender. You can roast them longer if your prefer a little char. Be careful using the broil setting if you are using parchment paper.
- About 5 minutes before your carrots are done cooking, start on your sauce by placing a small pot on medium heat and adding in 3 Tbsp of butter.
- Once your butter is melted, add in your chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Once your garlic is aromatic, add in 2 Tbsp honey, about 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper and cinnamon. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Once your carrots are cooked to your liking, add them to a large bowl and pour in your butter mixture. Mix to coat.
- Give them a taste and add salt and pepper to preference.
- Divide into 6 servings and enjoy!
Notes
• If you do not have access to baby carrots, or prefer to use something like sliced carrots, that is perfectly fine. As long as you are using 2 pounds of carrots, it doesn’t matter what kind of carrots. You shouldn’t need to adjust any of the macros or calories.
• As stated in the directions, you can broil these a little at the end for a bit of char. But if you plan on doing this, please use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper. Parchment paper is heat resistant but if it gets too close to a top-down broiler, it can potentially catch on fire.
• For even distribution of meals among meal containers, you can either estimate the portions, or weigh the entire batch, and divide that number by your number of meal containers. This recipe makes six meals, so it would be the total weight, divided by six. That will be your portion size per meal.
• If storing for meal prep, place into freezer safe meal containers, and place in the freezer for freshness. Take the meal out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator the night before to let the meal thaw out.
