A simple and healthy side dish featuring roasted carrots and zucchini with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter (or use more olive oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add carrots, zucchini, and red onion to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer.
  3. Roast 18–22 minutes, flipping once halfway, until veggies are tender with browned edges.
  4. While veggies roast, whisk together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice (if using).
  5. Remove pan from oven and drizzle the honey garlic glaze over the hot veggies. Toss well.
  6. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace butter with olive oil.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your sweetness preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
