Description
These Honey Roasted Carrots are tender, sweet, and beautifully caramelized with a butter-honey-garlic glaze. Perfect as a side dish for weeknight meals or festive gatherings, they’re quick to make yet full of rich flavor.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds carrots
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel and trim the carrots. Slice in half lengthwise if thick.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Toss carrots in the mixture until well coated.
5. Arrange carrots in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For the best caramelization, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
Use rainbow carrots for a more colorful and eye-catching presentation.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or skillet to maintain texture.
