How to Make the Best Roasted Honey Ginger Carrots
These roasted honey ginger carrots are the definition of effortless elegance on the dinner table. With just three core ingredients—rainbow carrots, honey, and fresh ginger—you’ll create a side dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The natural sweetness of the carrots melds perfectly with the floral notes of raw honey and the subtle warmth of ginger, creating a flavor profile that’s both comforting and sophisticated.
What makes this recipe truly special is how the honey caramelizes during roasting, creating a glossy glaze that coats each carrot perfectly. The variety of colors in rainbow carrots makes this dish visually stunning, and the different varieties offer subtle flavor variations. Whether you’re serving this alongside a simple roasted chicken or as part of a vegetable-forward meal, these carrots deliver impressive results with minimal effort.
The optional toasted slivered almonds add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the sweet and spicy profile beautifully. This is the kind of recipe that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen but really comes together in about 40 minutes from start to finish.

Instructions
Main
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel carrots, cut larger carrots in halves or quarters. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup honey and grated ginger.
- Arrange carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If cooking directly on the sheet tray, spray it lightly with cooking spray or a brush of oil. Pour the honey-ginger glaze over carrots, mixing thoroughly so all pieces are coated.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes on the middle rack. If after 30 minutes the carrots need more roasting, cover with foil and roast for 10 more minutes. Brush the finished carrots with remaining 1 teaspoon of honey.
- Optional: Sprinkle with slivered almonds after plating.
