How to make Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots
- Preheat the oven to 425 and gather all the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe.
- Scrub carrots and peel.
- If the carrots have their tops intact, trim the tops leaving a “green hat” for show.
- Mix marinade and pour on top of carrots. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- For about 12 minutes on one side, turn and roast for an additional 12 minutes. If the carrots are large, this process may take longer; it may take less time if the carrots are small. Be sure to keep an eye on them.
Honey mustard roasted carrots maintain their vibrant color even after roasting.
