Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: Approximately 25-35 minutes

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 3 tbsp Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut thicker carrots in half lengthwise so they cook evenly.
  3. Toss the carrots with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Roast for approximately 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the carrots are nearly fork-tender.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce and orange juice.
  6. Brush the carrots with the apricot mixture. Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, watching closely to prevent the glaze from burning.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve warm.
