Calories: 192kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees.
- Peel the carrots and slice into 2 inch pieces.
- In a small bowl whisk together melted butter and olive oil with the remaining ingredients. Toss with the carrots to coat. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the carrots have started brown and are fork tender. Be sure to toss halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Notes
- If the brown sugar begins to caramelize add a little water to the pan before it burns.
- You can cut the carrots into thin strips or small rounds to reduce the cooking time.
- If you use salted butter reduce the salt by a ¼ teaspoon or so.
🌡️Storing Leftovers
To store leftover roasted carrots place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to 6-8 months. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.Leave a review or get more information on the recipe!
