Balsamic Roasted Carrots

Published on January 18, 2017 by Stephanie Kay

This balsamic roasted carrots recipe is quick, easy, and simple, but tasty enough to make everyone at the table eat more veggies.

balsamic roasted carrots

Roasted carrot recipes often call for an added drizzle of honey, which you can certainly do, but I think that they are sweet enough on their own. I think whole carrots, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, topped with fresh thyme, and roasted in the oven until tender, sweet and salty is the perfect way to get more of your 5 a day.

Balsamic Roasted Carrots

If you want to make this recipe completely vegetarian, simply swaps the butter for olive oil and it will work just as well. For an extra touch, add a small drizzle of honey to the carrots before putting them in the oven.
