Glazed Carrots Recipe
Carrots are a staple in our home! We love to dip, snack and add carrots to most our meals each night. We love carrots! Any time I have the opportunity to add a side dish it is most likely carrots in our house. I love how easy these Glazed Carrots are to make and the flavor is SO rich! It really adds to a table top of food. I love that my kids have enjoyed vegetables paired with their meals as they grow up. It does help to add a little brown sugar ;).
With spring and summer coming up I love especially love the bright orange color that carrots bring to the table. These carrots are tender and full or flavor. My kids usually eat the carrots first before starting in on the rest of the meal. It is their favorite part! These Glazed Carrots are a simple side dish that is easy to please everyone around your table.
How Do You Make Glazed Carrots?
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray. In a medium sized bowl, add the carrots, olive oil, butter, brown sugar, garlic, and salt and pepper and combine.
- Spread the carrots in an even layer on the cookie sheet. Roast for 10 minutes and toss. Then roast for another 10 minutes until the carrots are tender and caramelized. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Can You Cook Glazed Carrots in a Slow Cooker?
Yes! You will prepare them the same then add them to the slow cooker to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until tender.
Can You Add Any Nuts to Glazed Carrots?
Glazed Carrots are delicious without anything extra but if you are looking for a crunchy, nutty flavor to add these nuts are a great and subtle hint and bake well.
- Walnuts
- Pecans
- Pine Nuts
Can You Cut and Prepare the Carrots Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can cut and prepare your carrots up to 3 days before you plan to make this side dish. I recommend making them fresh but understand if you need to peel and slice them store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator then continue to follow the recipe as directed.
Do You Cut All the Carrots the Same Thickness?
Yes! You will want to cut them the same thickness so they cook evenly on the cookie sheet.
What Can I Substitute the Brown Sugar with?
You can substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar. It will be the same measurements of each

What would be the roasting time if you kept the carrots length and just cut in 1/2 down the center? We like the look of a longer veggie for our guest table dinners
I would try baking them for at least 20 minutes. Depending on how thick the carrots are that are being used, you may want to reduce to the temperature to 375 and baking for 20-25 minutes so they don’t burn on the outside before cooking through.
Delicious! Even my non carrot eaters liked it. They needed to cook longer though.
Wowzers now these were excellent. Tried the recipe for in-laws and they loved them too. This recipe is a keeper.
Easy and delicious. Thank you
I am not a cooked carrot person but let me tell you these are amazing! We are moving and carrots were the last vegetable I had in the fridge to use so I tried out this recipe. My 2 young boys loved it as well. Thank you!
Could you please tell me approximately how many people this serves? I need to make them for 16 people.
Thank You.
This recipe serves 6!
WOW!! Just wow. I had to make these carrots ahead of time since I have limited oven space for Easter dinner. These are amazing!! And so simple. Even my anti-vegetable husband said “Oooo those are good.”
I used local honey instead of brown sugar. Quick and delicious!
