Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby/thin carrots

• ¼ cup apricot preserves

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Either line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray OR spray your baking sheet with cooking spray. See Note** Add carrots to the center...Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all remaining ingredients and pour over carrots. Toss until evenly coated. Line carrots in a single layer. Bake for 30-45 minutes depending on carrot thickness, until for tender, stirring after 20 minutes.*** Roast longer for more caramelization. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips

** If you use thinner carrots, you might not want to use foil because the carrots will caramelize better in the shorter roasting time without foil.

*** When you stir at 20 minutes, the Glaze will have liquefied and there will seem like a lot of moisture but the carrots will absorb the moisture/glaze as they continue cooking.
