• 2 tablespoons Chinese Five Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 scallions thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Equipment

• 1 Tongs For flipping carrots halfway through

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Chinese Five Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend, honey, soy sauce, orange juice, salt, and black pepper.
3. 3. Add the carrots and toss until every piece is coated.
4. 4. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared pan.
5. 5. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the carrots and roast for 8 to 10 minutes more until tender and caramelized at the edges.
6. 6. Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and finish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
7. 7. Serve warm.

Notes

For the best color, keep the carrots in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan. If your carrots are very thick, slice them lengthwise first so they roast evenly. The featured blend is the flavor anchor, so use it generously and let the warm spice profile do the heavy lifting.

Recipe Tips

• Cut the carrots into even pieces so they roast at the same pace.
• Give the pan enough space so the carrots caramelize instead of steaming.
• Toss the scallions and sesame seeds on at the end for the freshest flavor and texture.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve these carrots alongside roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or salmon.
• Add them to a grain bowl with rice, herbs, and a squeeze of lime.
• They also fit nicely on a holiday table with other roasted vegetables.

Storage

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Rewarm gently in the oven or a skillet so the edges stay lively.

Variations

• Swap honey for maple syrup for a deeper sweet note.
• Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for gentle heat.
• Finish with chopped cilantro instead of scallions for a brighter herb finish.
