Before you start preparing your ingredients, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating is essential for even cooking, allowing your carrots to roast beautifully, achieving that perfect caramelized exterior while remaining tender inside. This step also helps to intensify the flavors of your honey and balsamic glaze during roasting.
