Ingredients

1 kg / 2 lb carrots (, peeled (Note 1))
1/4 cup (40g) brown sugar (, loosely packed (Note 2))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
2 tbsp butter (30g) (, melted (or olive oil))
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Parsley (, for garnish (optional))

Steps

Preheat oven to 220C/425F (standard) or 200C/400F (fan).
Cut carrot on the diagonal into 4cm / 1.75” lengths. Halve thicker end so they are all roughly the same width.
Toss in a bowl with sugar, butter, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Pour onto tray, spread out.
Roast 15 minutes. Toss, then roast a further 10 minutes until soft and caramelised on the edges with plenty of glaze left on the tray.
Toss carrots in the glaze, sprinkle with parsley if using. Serve warm.

The recipe does not specify what constitutes a "serving" size. I watch my calories and carbs and would appreciate the info :)

I usually make glazed carrots on the stove but I looked for an oven recipe to serve as a side for a 14-person dinner. These were a big hit -- no leftovers! I am also now convinced oven is best, even when not cooking for a crowd.

l'm not particularly fond of carrots so, was cooking these more for the pop of colour than anything else but, they were the star of the dinner. Everyone had 2nds and even 3rds. Including me. My only regret is not making a double quantity.

I made it as directed and it was delicious. The sugar burnt a bit quickly and I just moved the bulk burnt bits our of the way so the carrot was just tinged.

I made this recipe for my mother in law on Mother’s Day. She LOVED them. We will have them again and again. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Fantastic recipe. I will admit, I was a bit eager and like a few others had put the sugar mixture in to roast, but I didn't have any issues with scorching or burning. I added the following to help with some additional nutrients and fragrance: 1 Tbsp turmeric powder 1 tsp cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp cardamom powder 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder I also included 2 Tbsp of minced ginger. My apartment smells INCREDIBLE!!
