Garlic Rosemary Roasted Glazed Carrots

While there are many ways to cook carrots, this way is truly my favorite. If you like dishes that are sweet and savory, I know you'll love this dish, too!

The garlic adds a gorgeous fragrant savory flavor in every bite. And garlic's BFF rosemary plays nicely to impart herbal woodsy flavors and aromas.

Then the glaze comes from the brown sugar and olive oil. By roasting the carrots at 425°F, the sugar caramelizes beautifully and coats the carrots with a slightly sweet layer that balances the savory.

It's a well-balanced, delightful dish that makes the tastebuds happy!

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 main dishes such as:

• One-Pan Garlic Rosemary Beef Roast
• Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb
• Slow Cooker Cranberry Meatballs
• Instant Pot Moroccan Chicken
• Vegan Dairy-Free Fettuccine Alfredo

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.

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.
