Easy Honey Roasted Carrots recipe. The perfect side dish for any occasion, this quick and simple idea uses mainly pantry essentials.
What’s the hardest part of dinner to come up with?
For me, it is always the side dishes. I can always come up with the main meal, but when it comes to thinking of something to go along side it? My mind goes completely blank.
But ever since my husband started making these Honey Roasted Carrots, I can tell you now that this is out new go-to side dish.
I made John tell me what he does to make these carrots, because they seemed so easy and so good.
So here I am sharing my husband’s recipe for a super simple side dish. It’s almost embarrassing how easy this recipe is. With only 4 ingredients, you can’t go wrong!
What do you need to make these Honey Roasted Carrots?
Here are those 4 ingredients:
- carrots
- olive oil
- honey
- salt and pepper
Okay, so that last one was two ingredients. But salt and pepper shouldn’t even count as an ingredient because you really should always have that on hand!
These carrots and my Mashed Potatoes might be my most made side dishes lately. They are both so good, and so easy to make. Add those two recipes along with one of my salmon recipes and your dinner is ready in no time!

So easy and delicious! My kiddos gobble these up every time I make them!
That makes me so happy to hear!
My go-to! Love it!
Me too!
So simple and so delicious. I’m going to do this with rainbow carrots. These are really tasty with parsley on top!
Ooh I’m going to have to try that next time!
These are a new favorite side dish for us – fantastic flavors and texture!
So glad you liked it!
The sweetness from the honey and the caramelization from roasting made them so flavorful. The texture was perfect – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I’ll definitely be making these again!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
