Honey Mustard & Rosemary Glazed Carrots
Say, can one ever eat too many carrots, you think?
It’s crazy the amount of carrots I’ve been eating lately… And I do mean crazy.
There was this one day last week-end when I probably ate close to 2 pounds.
TWO POUNDS PEOPLE!
To my defense, I’d been making carrot cake that day and shredded way too many carrots, so I ended up making some version of the The Best Carrot Salad Ever with the extra.
But I didn’t turn orange or anything, so I guess I must be fine…
Now, with that in mind, I guess it will come as no surprise to you that Missuz Carrot would be the one and only star of today’s recipe.
Well… that’s IF we can call that a recipe. To be fair, this is pretty much an almost-non-recipe-recipe!
But food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious, you know.
Seriously, this is sooooo easy, I think a 3 year old could do it.
And can you say pretty?
Oh my, so pretty!
I think I could eat the whole bowlful to myself. Hey, that’s only about 2 pounds worth anyway! 😉
But seriously, this, along with the Smokey Bacon Brussel Sprouts that I made not too long ago, is bound to become one of my favorite side dishes… One that will find its way to my table on a very regular basis, especially when carrots are in season and I can get my hands on beautiful local carrots that have been dug right out of the dirt mere hours before making it to my plate.
Oh, I can’t wait!
Want to make some too?
Super facile!
All you need to do is toss your carrots with some oil, mustard, honey, herbs and seasoning…
Lay them flat on a lined baking sheet…
Bake in a 425 degree oven until they get all happy and beautiful and caramelized…
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley and voilà.
Now all you need is a juicy piece of grilled meat to go with that.

- In a seperate bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Mix until very well combined and pour over reserved carrots. Mix to coat evenly and spread in a single layer in a shallow baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once or twice, until the carrots are tender and have taken a nice golden coloration.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

What a great idea adding mustard. I do a whole tray of veggies (carrot/parsnip/courgette/aubergine/onions) for roasting with honey, herbs and soy sauce but I’ve never tried adding mustard. Thank you for the inspiration!
This looks absolutely delicious! And sadly, I never realized there were multi-colored carrots! Love learning new things!
Did you know that carrots weren’t even orange to start with? I know, shocking, right? You really have to try the other colors… they are so much fun and add so much life to your plate! 🙂
Hi Sonia! Haven’t left you a comment in a while, but I’m back with a blog of my own now!
Anyway, these carrots look beautiful. Carrots were one of the very few foods I hated as as kid, but miraculously have warmed up to just in the past few years. So glad I’ve gotten over it, because recipes like this are worth enjoying 🙂
Hey, congrats on starting your own blog, Irina! Looks really great! 🙂 There are so many things that I didn’t like as a kid but couldn’t live without today… avocado would be one of them, and seafood, oh, and cheese. Thank goodness our taste in foods evolve as we grow older, else I get the feeling I wouldn’t be posting that many recipes! 😉
Wow 2 lbs of carrots! =) I like how you used the multicolor ones, makes them so much fun to eat 😉
Guess you could say I really like my carrots! And multicolored carrots are the best! They’re so sweet and pretty to look at! 🙂
I was looking for health related website to review many issue. Now I’ve found your blog site with lots of amazing information. You did really excellent work. I’ll read your blog regular basis.
OMG, these look So good! I was already roasting a chicken, so I doubled the glaze recipe. and poured it over carrots, potatoes and pearl onions. My anti-veggie carnivores scarfed it right down! Thank-you!
I made these last night: AMAZEBALLS!!!!! You know how much I love Dijon Mustard but my oh my these carrots exceed my expectations.
Not as pretty as yours but so damn good! (Oh, am I allowed to say damn in a comment?) 😉
Of course, you’re allowed saying damn in a comment, especially if referring to how good my recipe was! Heck, I think you could even use the F word! 😉
So happy to hear you liked the carrots, too! And I’m sure that they were much prettier than you’re giving yourself credit for.
And I still can’t get that image of your Cauliflower Crust Calzones out of my mind… I think I’m obsessed! 😉
Hi,I don’t like rosemary herbs ,what can I use instead? also I don’t like sage what can I replace it with? Thank You
Thyme, Oregano, Savory, Tarragon… basically any fresh herb that you happen to like! 🙂
I have to tell you- I don’t really like carrots too much… UNTIL NOW! I think I may have also eaten about a pound of carrots in the last two weeks. I’ve made these 3 times now- even one batch to service dinner guests! I am using a local honey I bought recently infused with rosemary and figs – it is divine. Thanks for this recipe- it’s a KEEPER!
OMG, thank you so much for that, Lindsay, you just made my day! 😀
I’m off to the local market to pick up some colourful carrots! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I just made these as a side for my lunch today! The only regret I have is that I didn’t have anyone to share them with. But I’ll make ’em again, and for others!
Glad to hear you liked ’em, Traci… And I so totally hear you. I so rarely get to share the food that I make with anyone, but so often wish that I did! Good food is meant to be shared with people you love and care about…
Do you think these could be made ahead, then reheated the day of? Thinking of making this for a Thanksgiving side, but Thanksgiving day the oven has so much other use I don’t think I could “book” the time lol.
I suppose you could, but they wouldn’t be quite as glorious… just be sure you sprinkle that fresh parsley at the last minute! 😉
I’ve made this numerous times and it’s so delicious every time! It’s one of our families favorites!!
