Roasted carrots are a delicious side dish, and today I am sharing my super healthy version of this popular classic - honey glazed roasted carrots.

I love roasting vegetables and the festive season is the perfect time to do it.  You’ll need lots of delicious side dishes to accompany your roast turkey, duck or nut roast.  So you might be serving roasted brussels sprouts, roasted sweet potato skins, braised red cabbage, braised carrots or perhaps roasted carrots.

Roasted honey glazed carrots with miso paste

The reason I decided to use miso paste in this roasted carrots recipe was to add more savoury flavour to this dish.  It goes so well with the sweet carrots and honey!  The end result is that these carrots are still sweet but they also have a bit of savouriness about them.

So these simple honey glazed roasted carrots are bursting with flavour!

Miso paste is best known for being the main ingredient of miso soup, of course, but you can use it to add flavour to lots of dishes.  You can use it in stews, casseroles or chillies, whether meat or vegetarian.  Miso has a very intense flavour so use it sparingly.  One or two teaspoons should be enough to use in a stew for 4-6 people.

I've also used miso in healthy pulled chicken recipe as well as healthy vegan caesar dressing.

Equipment you'll need

• Kitchen scale and vegetable peeler
• Large and small mixing bowls, spoon and basting brush (optional)

Top tips

• Carrots: Try to use long and thin roughly similar size carrots, or cut larger carrots lengthways into long strips, if you prefer.
• Miso: I used white miso paste in this recipe, but you can use any miso paste.  Using darker coloured miso might result in your carrots looking darker after 40 minutes in the oven. Miso is very salty so there is no need to add any salt to this recipe.
• Glaze: You can prepare the glaze in advance and refrigerate, covered, overnight. Give a good stir before combining with the carrots.
• Roasting: Use a large baking sheet so the carrots are not squashed together.
• Best served immediately.
• Not suitable for freezing.
