Ingredients
To find the full recipe hop over to Imperial Sugar whom I partnered with for all the details!
- Carrots. I like to use whole carrots that are medium / large in size. Just peel them and slice them! You can also use baby carrots as a time saver!
- Balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
- Light brown sugar. You can also use dark brown sugar as well!
- Kosher salt
- Fresh ground black
- Crushed red pepper
- Fresh parsley to garnish
How To Make Brown Sugar Roasted Carrots
- Peel the carrots and slice each carrot into strips 4- inches long and approximately 3/4 to 1- inch wide. I get 6 – 8 pieces per carrot. Set aside. You can use baby carrots instead if you prefer. The trick is to make sure all the carrots are about the same size so they cook evenly!
- In a large bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Place the carrots into the bowl and stir to coat the carrots evenly with the vinegar mixture. Pour the carrots and extra liquid onto a large baking sheet evenly, arranging the carrots in a single layer on the pan. You will want to use a baking sheet with sides so any liquid doesn’t drip over the sides!
- Roast the carrots at 425°F for 25 – 30 minutes or until balsamic mixture has thickened and carrots are a deep golden brown and tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
How To Store
These carrots should be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
