Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Place the cut carrots in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. This creates your butter glazed carrots sauce.
  4. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss well until every piece is coated.
  5. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan for best roasting results.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a delicious root vegetable side recipe.

Notes

  • For perfectly roasted carrots, ensure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding steams them instead of roasting them.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add one more clove of minced garlic to the glaze.
  • This recipe works well for carrots side dish for holidays or quick weeknight carrot side meals.
