Platter of Apricot Honey Glazed Carrots

If you are not sure if you like roasted carrots, you are going to absolutely love carrots with my Apricot Honey Glazed Carrots recipe. They are sweet with a hint of tang from the balsamic vinegar. And then you get the creamy tangy goat cheese and crunchiness from the carrots themselves as well as the toasted pine nuts. Not to mention how pretty this dish is when you bring it to the table. It’s certainly dressed for the holidays!

How to make apricot honey glazed carrots

This is such an easy recipe that looks very elegant when it’s finished.

  1. Start by cleaning the carrots and peeling them with a vegetable peeler.
  2. Place them on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Brush them with the apricot honey balsamic glaze.
  5. Roast them.
  6. Serve them dressed with goat cheese, toasted pine nuts, and fresh thyme.

Should you peel the carrots before cooking them?

While you don’t really need to peel the carrots before roasting them or eating them raw, you do need to clean them very well to remove and dirt. Remember, they do grow in the ground. Most people, like me, think they look much better when you peel them. And some times the outer peel has a bitter taste. So the answer is no, but at my house, we always peel the carrots.

How to toast the pine nuts

It’s very easy to toast nuts and I highly recommend not skipping this step. By toasting them, you release the nut oils and it really intensifies the nut flavor. Toasting nuts isn’t hard but it might take you a few times until you get your own technique perfected. One of the things I learn by testing is that I like to use a small skillet for toasting nuts.

  1. Place the skillet on the stovetop and turn the heat on high.
  2. Do not add anything to the skillet – it’s just fine dry.
  3. After about 30 seconds, add a handful of nuts. You don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Just a thin layer of nuts is fine.
  4. Turn the heat to medium and cook them for about 2-3 minutes, and stir them with a small spatula.
  5. Turn the heat off and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring to ensure they don’t burn.
  6. DO NOT walk away while you are toasting nuts. They will burn quickly.

I’ve heard of people using the microwave for toasting nuts, but honestly, I’ve never tried it. Once I do, I’ll report back and let you know how it goes.
