    This is a recipe for Honey Lime Cumin Roasted Glazed Carrots. A simple and delightful carrot side dish that will shine at the table.  I can’t imagine any entree that this wouldn’t compliment. Sweet and tangy, these showy oven roasted carrots are easy enough for a weeknight side dish, and sensational enough to compliment any Holiday entree.

    Don’t you love it when you find a recipe that checks all the boxes? Beautiful (check), healthy (check), and scrumptious (check). Yes!

    Sometimes I feel like I find myself struggling to come up with easy side dish ideas beyond those bags of frozen vegetables from the store. This oven roasted carrots recipe is definitely a solution to that problem. What could be better than an easy homemade side dish, with a short cleanup list: one sheet pan, a small mixing bowl and a hot oven.

    King Soopers had gorgeous tri-colored baby carrots last week, that found themselves in my cart quicker than quick. I couldn’t wait to get home and come up with a beautiful combination of flavors to roast them into culinary bliss.

    I remember a glaze that we used in Culinary School using cumin, lime and honey, and I couldn’t think of a better glaze for these carrots.

    Just how easy is this Roasted Glazed Carrot Recipe?

    • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin from the carrots.
    • Place the carrots on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
    • In a small bowl combine the honey, lime zest, lime juice and spices.
    • Pour over the carrots and with tongs mix and turn to combine carrots and sauce.
    • No dicing, no slicing, just roast and enjoy.

    Voila.
