Hear me out, every dish at the Thanksgiving table can’t be heavy and full of grease and fat. These honey garlic glazed carrots are the perfect side dish & are actually my favorite of all the sides I made in the “ Side Dish Diaries” series. The glaze is unctuous & balanced with notes of sweetness and spice. Pro tip: make sure you cook your carrots just enough so they still maintain that bit of crunch 🥕 Ingredients • 6 carrots, peeled and sliced on a bias • 2 tablespoons olive oil (use good-quality oil) • 1⁄4 cup honey • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt • 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper • Pinch of nutmeg Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F 2. Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 3. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir well until the mixture forms a smooth glaze. 4. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they’re evenly coated with the honey-garlic mixture. Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. 5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are tender with caramelized edges and the 6. glaze has thickened slightly. 6. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving so the glaze clings to the carrots. #thanksgiving #thanksgivingrecipes #friendsgiving #vegeterianrecipes #cooking
