Ingredients

  • For the carrots:
  • 1 ½ pounds thick baby carrots cut from end to end on the diagonal.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • To finish:
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons fresh finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chili garlic sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500˚F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray for easier cleanup.
  • Combine the melted butter, honey, ginger, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl. Stir well to combine. Set aside
  • Arrange the carrots on the sheet pan in an even layer.
  • Drizzle the carrots with the olive oil and toss to coat with a spatula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again.
  • Roast for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and stir well. Redistribute carrots to an even layer and return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes until tender and charred in places.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle with the honey-butter mixture. Stir well to coat and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes until nicely glazed. Try to wait to start snitching until they have cooled down a bit. Serve warm, garnished with fresh mint or cilantro, if desired.
