This is the most delicious side dish. The roasted carrots are sweet and spicy and so easy to make. It only takes a few minutes of hands on time so its great for weeknights and meal prep!

Ingredients

To make these Hot Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots you will need:

Rainbow Carrots: Or regular orange carrots. They all taste the same!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This will help the carrots get a nice even roast.

Vegan Hot Honey: You can make my Vegan Hot Honey or grab a store bought hot honey. And, if you like even spicier food, try my Harissa Carrots and Chickpeas!

Dried Thyme Leaves: For a little extra flavor.

Salt and Pepper: To season.

Method

To make these Hot Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots, start by peeling the carrots and cutting them into evenly sized pieces. I like to cut them into about 2" pieces, then halve the thicker pieces.

Then, place the chopped carrots onto a baking sheet.

Next, mix the olive oil, hot honey, thyme and salt and pour it onto the carrots.

Now, roast the carrots in a 425* oven for about 45-50 minutes or until they are brown and tender.

Substitutions

Can't find rainbow carrots? Use regular orange carrots.

Don't like spicy food? Use regular honey or agave in place of the hot honey.

Storage

To store these Hot Honey And Thyme Roasted Rainbow Carrots, transfer them to an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

Top Recipe Tip

Be sure to use a Harissa that is more of a sauce and not a powder or a paste. My top recommendation is Mina brand Harissa, but Trader Joes carries one too!
