Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup pomegranate juice
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform sticks, about 3 inches in length.

Step 3

Place the carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the carrots are roasting, prepare the pomegranate glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar over medium heat.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until it reduces to a thick, syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the carrots are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl or platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the pomegranate glaze over the carrots and gently toss to coat.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Pomegranate Glazed Carrots as a delicious side dish!
