How to Make Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim and peel 1 pound of fresh carrots; halve any thicker ones lengthwise.
Toss carrots in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the carrots in the bowl, then toss gently.
Roast carrots single-layered on a rimmed baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Broil on high for 1–2 minutes if you crave extra caramelization; watch closely.
