Honey-Glazed Roasted Carrots

By á-9151

Ingredients

• 1 lb. carrots (1/2 to 1 inches in diameter), peeled, halved lengthwise
• 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1/3 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat oven to 400°F and place rack in center.

2) Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, mix carrots, olive oil, salt, and pepper until carrots have been thoroughly doused.

3) Roast vegetables 16 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Roast 5 more minutes, or until carrots are "tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife." (You can prep this an hour or two ahead. Just cover loosely with aluminum foil and warm it in the oven for about 10 minutes before serving.)

3) In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. (Do not let brown.) Add honey and vinegar. Stir. Pour over carrots. Serve.
