These delicious and easy brown sugar baked carrots are perfect for holidays or weeknight meals! The brown sugar and butter caramelizes the carrots making it a beloved side dish!
I just love serving these baked carrots on my table. They are an easy and delicious side dish to any meal! For years, they were a staple on our Easter dinner table, then Thanksgiving. Finally, I thought why do I limit this recipe just holidays!?
My favorite way to make these carrots is when I can get the carrots fresh at a local farmer’s market. However, we always have carrots in the fridge, thanks to Amazon fresh.
Everyone knows that when your kids will eat a certain vegetable, a certain way, you make it often! And these carrots are just that for my family.
Although I am serving them in a cast iron pan, a sheet pan or a casserole dish is fine.
How to Make this recipe for Brown Sugar Baked Carrots
If you scroll down, I have a printable recipe card for you with instructions and ingredients.
Here is what you need to have to make this recipe:
- 10-12 Carrots, peeled and then cut in half OR 2 dozen baby carrots.
- salt & pepper
- cinnamon
- brown sugar
- butter
If using whole carrots, wash and peel your carrots.
Place carrots on your baking sheet, or in your cast iron pan or casserole dish.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix your carrots.
Pour butter over the carrots and mix. The butter and sugar caramelize the carrots and boy is it delicious!
Bake your carrots until bubbly and the carrots are caramelized.
If you are using baby carrots, you will need to cook your carrots much longer – about 45 minutes to an hour.

An hour seems like an awfully long time. Maybe it's your oven, never had this kind of issue as I use baby carrots all the time.

I’m making these for a wedding and I want to make about 30 servings. I know I have to double up on the brown sugar and the butter, but what about the cook time? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’m not great at cooking and I don’t want to mess it up since this is for a wedding.
Thanks.

Wow. That is a lot! I am not really sure. I would think the cook time would be the same since. Just lay them flat so they cook evenly and when a fork can pierce them, they are done.

Lovely recipe. Can you make these ahead of time? If so, do they hold for the next day?

I would think so, although maybe just not baked them. I would prepare the dish, refrigerate and then bake when you are ready.
