Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Trim tops off carrots, leaving 1 inch of stem for visual appeal. Scrub carrots under running water; dry thoroughly. Place carrots on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until carrots are slightly undercooked, 20 to 25 minutes.

04

Step

Whisk together remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture onto carrots and continue to roast or until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Turn carrots every 5 minutes so they roast evenly.

05

Step

Place on a serving platter and top with pistachios and mint before serving. (2 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of cinnamon.
To add a little heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the honey-lemon glaze.
If you don't have pistachios, walnuts or pecans make a great substitute.
Feel free to use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
