How to Make Easy Balsamic Glazed Roasted Carrots
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and cut the carrots into 1-2 inch pieces on the diagonal. Spread the carrots out on sheet pan.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper and whisk.
Pour most of the glaze mixture over the carrots and coat evenly, saving a small amount to drizzle later. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Check and see if the carrots are cooked fully, and add more time if needed.
Once done, drizzle the remaining glaze and serve.
