Honey Glazed Carrots

When it comes to vegetables, I’m here to report that carrots are the only ones that my son would eat whether raw, roasted or what without a single word of defiance. It’s not that he doesn’t eat other types of veggies, but the subtle sweetness and crunchiness of carrots make it so easy for my son to snack on it. 

That is why I always keep a bag of it in my pantry. Aside from that, they make the quickest and handy side dish that you could throw in any time. Not convinced yet? Let me show you why you should have this far more often in your menu.

Benefits of Eating Carrots

Popular with its orange color, Carrots are root vegetables that were known to exist in Afghanistan since 900 AD. They also come in other colors like purple, red, yellow and white. It has sugar in it which gives them that slightly sweet flavor, but depending on its color, it could also taste earthy and bitter.

Moreover, it also has anti-oxidants that are linked to cancer prevention and boost a healthy heart. It’s packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B6, K, potassium and phosphorous, among others.

Recipe Variation

This roasted carrot recipe is already a winner as is, but for those who want to jazz it up, you can customize these carrots.

  • Instead of honey, you may swap it with maple syrup or simply brown sugar.
  • Love everything bacon? Wrap each carrot with 1/2 slice of bacon before popping it in the oven. (Like what I did with my Bacon Wrapped Plantain.)
  • Add a teaspoon or two of orange juice for a citrusy pop that will tease your tastebuds.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables into the mix such as sweet potatoes, red onions, bell peppers or butternut squash.
  • For added texture, you can also top these glazed carrots with sliced almonds or chopped cashews. Yum!
