    These vegan honey glazed carrots are one my most favorite carrot recipes, and one of my all time favorite vegan side dishes. Of course, we won’t actually use honey since it’s not a vegan ingredient.

    We will use agave syrup instead of honey, but you won’t be able to tell the difference! I make these vegan carrots frequently for my non-vegan family and they are always a huge hit. Even the kids like these!

    These vegan honey-glazed carrots are super simple to make. I can get them from fridge to the oven in about five minutes, so I can cook the rest of the meal while these roast. 

    Preparing Vegan Honey Glazed Carrots

    Start off with a big bunch of carrots. I love the multi-colored ones from the farmers market – they just feel extra fancy. Chop off the tops and slice the carrots lengthwise.

    If they are super chunky carrots, you can give them an extra slice. Rinse them, pat dry, and spread on a baking sheet. 

    preparing the carrots

    Now, you might be realizing at this point that I didn’t peel the carrots. That’s right! I almost never peel my carrots. The skins contain a ton of healthy nutrients, and they get a tasty little crunch when they’re cooked. I enjoy the taste and their healthier this way.

    Plus, peeling carrots is a royal pain in the behind. Why put ourselves through that hassle when it’s not necessary?

    Then, you just toss the carrots in some olive oil, agave syrup, and balsamic vinegar. The agave syrup is our secret vegan substitute for the honey in these honey-glazed carrots! Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast the carrots for 30-45 minutes. So easy and so delicious.
