Jamie Oliver Honey Roasted Carrots

Jamie Oliver Honey Roasted Carrots

Jamie Oliver’s Honey Roasted Carrots is a simple roasted vegetable side dish made with carrots, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. The carrots roast until tender and slightly sticky, developing a naturally sweet and savoury glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 600g carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: thyme or rosemary
  • Optional: 1 tbsp butter for richness
  • Optional: pinch of cumin for warmth

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Heat your oven to 200°C (400°F). A hot oven ensures the carrots caramelise properly.

Step 2: Prepare the Carrots

Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks so they roast uniformly.

Step 3: Coat With Honey and Olive Oil

Place carrots on a baking tray and drizzle with honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until fully coated.

Step 4: Add Herbs or Spices

Scatter thyme or rosemary on top for extra fragrance, or add a pinch of cumin for warmth.

Step 5: Roast Until Tender and Caramelised

Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway. They should be soft inside with caramelised edges.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Stir in a small knob of butter for shine and serve warm.
