Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Then, trim off the ends of the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into slices, chunks, or even baby carrots.
  • Season the carrots: Sprinkle the carrots with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Roast the carrots: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the carrots with olive oil and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make the honey bourbon glaze: While the carrots are roasting, make the honey bourbon glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, bourbon, butter, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the carrots: Remove the carrots from the oven and brush them with the honey bourbon glaze. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for 5-10 minutes more, or until the glaze is set.
