Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. Cut them into uniform 1-1.5 inch thick batons or segments for even cooking.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in the 4 cloves of minced garlic and allow to infuse for about a minute. Then, add the 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, pour the warm honey-garlic-butter-olive oil glaze over the cut carrots. Toss thoroughly until every carrot piece is evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the glazed carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no overlapping. Use a second baking sheet if necessary to prevent crowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
  6. Roast for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, toss the carrots with a sturdy spatula or tongs, then spread them back into a single layer. Return to the oven and continue roasting for another 10-20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender and have developed beautiful golden-brown, caramelized edges. Total roasting time will be approximately 25-35 minutes, depending on carrot thickness and oven.
  7. Remove from the oven. If desired, garnish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve your Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots immediately.
  8. Store any leftover carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best texture, reheat them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated through.

Notes

  • Ensure carrots are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Adjust honey and garlic to taste.
  • Serve warm for best flavor.
