Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh carrots, washed, peeled, and cut into uniform sticks or rounds
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Begin by washing and peeling your carrots if needed. Cut them into uniform sticks or rounds to ensure even cooking. The size can vary based on preference, but consistency will help with uniform roasting.
  2. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the plant-based butter. Whisk in the honey (natural), minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), natural gelling agent, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until the glaze is smooth and well combined, allowing the garlic to infuse the mixture.
  3. Toss Carrots in the Glaze: Transfer the cut carrots into a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm honey garlic butter glaze over them and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the luscious mixture.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway through. The carrots should become tender inside with edges caramelized to a golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top for added flavor and shine.

Notes

  • Cut carrots uniformly to ensure even roasting and avoid overcooking some pieces.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for a vibrant, fresh flavor rather than pre-minced or powdered versions.
  • Arrange carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and promote caramelization.
  • Roast at a high temperature to bring out the natural sweetness and achieve a satisfying texture.
  • Adjust the amount of honey (natural) to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
