Making incredible paleo style meals doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Often times with just a few simple ingredients and one main staple, like carrots, you can make incredibly tasty meals. These perfectly roasted carrots fit the bill perfectly, as they are tossed in an easy to make homemade honey and orange mixture before baking to create what is truly the perfect carrot snack.

Vegetables like carrots and celery are extremely common as a quick and easy healthy snack. They’re incredibly convenient and can even be enjoyed raw. However, by taking a bit of added time and roasting your carrots, you end up taking one simple ingredient and making it twice as delicious.

Carrots just might actually be one of my favorite vegetables. They’re extremely rich in vitamins A, C, B8, K, potassium, and folate. Carrots also contain beta-carotene which converts into a potent antioxidant that provides some fantastic benefits for your health. (1)

Not only does roasting your carrots make them even tastier, but this recipe even adds a delicious homemade glaze as well. By combining orange juice, honey, olive oil, and garlic you can easily make an absolutely perfect glaze to add to your carrots in a matter of minutes. As healthy as carrots are on their own, you can really give this meal a nutritional boost thanks to all of the vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy fats found in this glaze. After cooking them, simply add some fresh thyme and black pepper for seasoning and they are ready to serve.
