Glazed Lemon Pepper Carrots
Lemon Pepper seasons glazed carrots, a delicious side dish!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound carrots, peeled, left whole or cut into 2" thick slices
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil lightly sprayed with nonstick spray, such as Pam. Or lightly spray a 9x13” baking dish. Set it aside.
- Add the butter, oil, honey, sugar, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and pepper to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Stir.
- Pop the bowl into the microwave to melt the butter (probably less than 60 seconds, depending on your microwave. You can cover the bowl in case of splattering.) Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a saucepan and heat on the stovetop.
- Add the garlic powder and whisk the glaze mixture to completely combine the ingredients.
- Scatter the carrots into an even layer if possible on the baking sheet. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the carrots. (Scraping the bowl with a silicone spatula will allow you to get all that yumminess onto your carrots.)
- Toss the carrots in the glaze mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Toss the carrots to coat again in the glaze, or give the pan a good shake to move the carrots around to coat them. Bake for another 10 minutes. Toss/shake again. Bake for another 5 to 8 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your carrots, it may require more or less baking time.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place them into a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Best served immediately, very warm.
