I like fresh ginger. You’ll find recipes on this blog containing fresh ginger like- Lemon Ginger Cranberry Relish + Video (your turkey needs this I’m telling you!) and Easy Apricot Ginger Steakhouse Pork Chops in 30 min!

I also like honey. Also, you’ll find recipes with honey here too: One Pot Honey Lemon Salmon with Asparagus and Slow Cooker Chili Recipe with Corn + Video. Yes, chili! It’s incredible and our most popular recipe so give it a try!

Honey and ginger taste so good together and when you add orange juice and cinnamon it’s even better! I love when my food tastes fresh and not processed, over salted or over seasoned. You can actually taste the carrots in this recipe!

How to Make Honey Ginger Glazed Roasted Carrots

* The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post.

In a mixing bowl, add:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup orange juice (and zest)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp grated ginger (this zester is great and you can use it to zest the orange too!)

Then, pour the oil mixture over the carrots and bake in an oil sprayed baking dish at 400F for about an hour. If you want them done faster, cut them into two-inch pieces and bake them at 400F for about 30 minutes or until tender.

That’s it! It’s so easy!

This beautiful baking trio is a best seller on Amazon and makes a great gift!

Do you peel carrots before roasting?

Save time and mess by just washing the carrots and not peeling them but, you certainly can peel them first. It’s up to you.
