Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 lbs. carrots (peeled)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 2-inch-thick slices.
  • Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together brown sugar, orange juice, and salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
  • After 15 minutes, remove carrots from the oven. Brush (or drizzle) brown sugar mixture over the carrots; stir to coat, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes (or until browned and tender). You will not need all of the glaze (probably only 1-2 tablespoons will actually be used), so set aside the extra and drizzle a little bit more over the roasted carrots just before serving.
  • Season with additional salt, to taste.
