Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 3 to 4 inch sticks or rounds

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Peel and cut fresh carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds about 3 to 4 inches long to ensure even roasting and proper absorption of the glaze.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the plant-based butter over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about one minute. Stir in honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to create a rich and aromatic sauce.
  3. Toss and Roast: Place the carrots in a mixing bowl and pour the warm glaze over them. Toss until every piece is well coated. Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet for even roasting.
  4. Roast to Tenderness: Roast the carrots in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip them halfway through roasting to develop a caramelized texture on all sides.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme if desired. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose carrots of similar size for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking tray to allow caramelization.
  • For extra tenderness, roast at a slightly lower temperature for longer time.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for brighter, robust flavor.
  • Check carrots before time to avoid overcooking or burning.
