Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

The most amazing quick and easy roasted carrots! Roasting brings out the best in carrots, always. And the caramelised edges are the BEST - it's the only way I make Glazed Carrots!

Ingredients:


  • 1 kg / 2 lb carrots , peeled (Note 1)
  • 1/4 cup (40g) brown sugar , loosely packed (Note 2)
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:


  • 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.
