Ingredients and Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for oven-roasted carrots, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements see Recipe card below.

• whole carrot – Look for firm, bright orange carrots for roasting, or choose multi-colored carrots for variety. You can also use baby carrots, but the cooking time may vary.The glaze here is also perfect for parsnips or Roasted Kale If you want to throw them in!
• Honey – I prefer sugar free honey No sugar added (tastes the same, no aftertaste), but you can use regular too.You can even use Sugar-Free Jalapeno Honey If you like kicking.
• olive oil – Promotes caramelization and helps flavorings adhere. Ghee, coconut oil, or avocado oil are all great substitutes if needed.
• seasoning – fresh thyme (or other fresh herbs such as parsley), garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper.You can also use dried herbs instead (e.g. italian seasoning) In this roasted carrot recipe, if you need – just substitute 1 teaspoon dried carrots for 1 tablespoon fresh carrots.

Roasting carrots takes 25-30 minutes in the oven. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the carrots and how tender you prefer them.
