Description

Honey Roasted Beets & Carrots are an easy, healthy, and flavorful side dish that combines the natural sweetness of roasted root vegetables with a touch of honey and fresh herbs. This simple recipe is perfect for adding vibrant color and wholesome nutrition to any meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 4 medium beets
  • 4 large carrots

Seasoning & Flavor

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, dill, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables to perfection.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and peel the beets and carrots thoroughly. Chop them into even 1/2 inch pieces to ensure they roast evenly.
  3. Toss with Oil and Salt: Place the chopped beets and carrots on a baker’s half sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over them. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. The exact time depends on the size of the pieces.
  5. Prepare Honey Butter Sauce: While the vegetables roast, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl using the microwave. Whisk in the honey until fully combined.
  6. Coat and Finish Roasting: Remove the roasted beets and carrots from the oven and pour the honey butter mixture over them. Toss well to coat all pieces. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, toss with fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or dill, and serve warm as a delicious, healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Ensure beets and carrots are cut into uniform pieces for even roasting.
  • Use fresh herbs according to preference; thyme and rosemary add a fragrant, savory note.
  • Adjust honey quantity for desired sweetness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Roasted vegetables can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
