Honey Sesame Roasted Carrots

Honey Sesame Roasted Carrots

Tender roasted carrots in an Asian inspired honey, garlic and ginger sauce with the aroma of toasted sesame!

Carrots are a great side dish for any meal, including Easter, and one of my favourite ways to cook carrots is to roast them! Roasted carrots are super easy to make, you pretty much just toss peeled and sliced carrots in oil, optionally with some seasoning, and roast them on a pan in the oven. While the carrots roast in the oven they get tender and they start to caramelize, which helps concentrate and bring out their natural sweetness and flavour. Once the carrots have been roasted you can either serve them as is or you can toss them in a sauce or a glaze. This Asian inspired glaze is one of my go-to recipes and it includes honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar and toasted sesame seeds and oil! These honey sesame glazed carrots come together in almost no time and they are a great side for any meal!
