Make perfectly caramelized Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots. This simple recipe delivers tender, sweet, and savory roasted carrots that your family will love, making it an ideal side dish for any meal or holiday.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cut carrots, melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the carrots are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote caramelization.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  5. If using, remove the carrots from the oven after 20 minutes, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  6. Serve immediately as a family favorite side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of smoked paprika to the butter mixture before tossing with the carrots.
  • If your carrots are very thick, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly with the glaze.
  • This recipe works well for holiday gatherings like Christmas or Easter dinners.
