Carrots in Sunset

Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots

INGREDIENTS

•          2 pounds carrots, tops chopped off or to 2 inches

•          1/4 cup apricot preserves

•          2 tablespoons honey

•          2 tablespoons olive oil

•          1 tablespoon butter, melted

•          1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

•          1 teaspoon garlic powder

•          1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

•          1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves

•          1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

•          1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add carrots to the center. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all remaining ingredients and pour over carrots. Toss until evenly coated. Line carrots in a single layer.

Bake for 30-45 minutes depending on carrot thickness, until fork tender, stirring after 20 minutes. 

Roast longer for more caramelization. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
