Honey glazed carrots are the perfect side dish for any meal. Carrots are covered in a sweet honey glaze and roasted to perfection in a Dutch oven. These carrots are so easy to make and only require a handful of ingredients.

Roasting carrots in a Dutch oven is the best way to get them nice and crispy on the outside while keeping them tender on the inside while adding depth of flavor. The honey glaze also helps to keep the carrots from drying out during cooking.

For this recipe, both brown sugar and honey are used to create the glaze. The brown sugar helps to add a little bit of depth to the flavor while the honey provides the sweetness.

Let’s take a look at how to make this simple side dish which can be made in the oven or on a campfire.

Carrots

Cooked carrots have a natural sweetness, but the addition of honey and brown sugar takes them to a whole new level. The carrots come out of the oven glistening and are so irresistible.

Serve these carrots as a side dish with roasted chicken or grilled steak. Honey-glazed carrots also make a great holiday side dish.

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including beta carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for vision, immune function, and cell growth. Carrots are also a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.
