    🥕 Ingredient notes

    plate of garlic rosemary roasted glazed carrots before cooking

    Fresh carrots - You'll want to use fresh carrots for this recipe and peel them yourself so you get the most flavor from them.

    Garlic - One of the best parts of this recipe is the garlic. It adds a gorgeous fragrant savory flavor in every bite.

    Rosemary - Garlic's BFF rosemary plays nicely to impart herbal woodsy flavors and aromas.

    Brown sugar and olive oil - These make up the glaze. During roasting, the sugar caramelizes beautifully and coats the carrots with a slightly sweet layer that balances the savory.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    Making these roasted glazed carrots is super easy.

    1. Peel and trim the carrots.

    2. Toss with olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper.

    3. Roast at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes. That's it!

    Exact measurements of ingredients and instructions are in the printable recipe card toward the bottom of this post. Here are some helpful tips to guide you as you make this recipe.

    👩🏽‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    plate of roasted carrots on holiday table with wine
    How long to roasted carrots keep?

    Roasted carrots should last 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Do the carrots need to be peeled before roasting?

    I like them better without the peel to remove any dirt or residue, but you don't need to peel them. If you decide not to, just be sure to wash them thoroughly first.

    Can roasted carrots be reheated?

    Yes, you can make them ahead of time then reheat either in the oven or the air fryer for a few minutes at 375°. The air fryer will likely heat them faster so you'll want to check that they don't become overdone.

    🍽 Main Dishes to Serve With This Carrot Side Dish

    These carrots are beautiful and elegant enough to serve at any holiday feast or dinner party. But they're so fast and easy, they can also elevate any weeknight family dinner, too.

    This vegan side dish makes an excellent companion to other main courses such as:

    • One-Pan Garlic Rosemary Beef Roast
    • Slow Cooker Cranberry Meatballs
    • Vegan Dairy-Free Fettuccine Alfredo
    carrots in a baking sheet and beef roast and potatoes in a cast iron skillet

    The last time I made these, I actually roasted them at the same time as I made the One-Pan Garlic Rosemary Beef Roast with potatoes. I simply placed them in the rack beneath the beef roast and took them out around 30 minutes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound carrots about 2 bunches of carrots with stems, destemmed (save the stems) and trimmed
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
    • 3 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425°F.
    • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place carrots in a single row across the foil or parchment paper.
    • In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, and rosemary. Drizzle over carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt & pepper.
    • Roast carrots at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    What to do with carrot stems: save the green carrot tops and use them to serve as a bed of greens for the roasted glazed carrot to lie on after they are cooked. You can also make delicious pesto with carrot top greens, or even make a carrot top salad. Or, save them with your vegetable scraps to make homemade stock.
