Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan side dish featuring carrots and green beans coated in a sweet and savory honey butter glaze, roasted to tender-crisp perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks
  • 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the carrots and cut into 2-inch sticks about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the green beans, rinse, and pat dry.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Add the carrots and green beans to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the glaze.
  5. Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Then flip and stir the veggies gently to ensure even caramelization.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 10–12 minutes until carrots are tender and green beans are crisp-tender with golden edges.
  8. Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle fresh thyme leaves or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  9. Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and sogginess. Make sure vegetables are dry before glazing. Flip veggies halfway through roasting for even caramelization. If honey darkens too quickly, reduce oven temperature to 400°F (205°C). Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain texture.
