Can You Reheat Honey Roasted Carrots?

You sure can! Simply add a pat of butter, cover with plastic wrap and zap in the microwave!

You can also cover them in aluminum foil and put them in the oven until they are heated through. Refresh the flavors with a little more salt and pepper and they are ready to serve!

What Mains Should I Serve with These?

Glazed, roasted carrots literally go with anything! Especially hearty proteins like beef, chicken, and pork. A tender prime rib, a whole roasted chicken, or a stuffed pork tenderloin all make great protein mains with honey roasted carrots.

For a one-pot meal, prepare the carrots according to the recipe and place them, along with a beef roast on a bed of diced baby red potatoes, add some onions and mushrooms in a covered roasting pan and roast them all together! The honey glaze will flavor all the veggies as they roast and there’s only one pot to serve from and one pot to wash!

Dinner is served!

  1. I have never roasted carrots before. A friend gave me a bag of carrots from her garden. I decided to try this recipe. End result.. perfect! My husband loved them. I quartered the thick carrots to keep the thickness uniform, single layer in glass pan. I roasted the carrots 40 minutes. They were crisp/ tender5 stars

  2. Thank you! My kids had decided that cooked carrots were gross. After making your recipe, my eight-year-old son now says these cooked carrots are delicious. In our home, these are known as Calvin Carrots. Your recipe expanded our family’s vegetable repertoire.5 stars
