Description
Follow this simple recipe for Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots. You will roast carrots until tender and coat them in a sweet and savory glaze made from honey, garlic, and butter for a perfect weeknight side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the cut carrots on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots. Toss them gently with your hands or a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots back into a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for better roasting.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the glaze has caramelized slightly.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best caramelization, ensure your oven temperature is accurate and do not skip stirring halfway through the cooking time.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add one more clove of garlic to the glaze mixture.
- These roasted carrots pair well with roasted chicken or pork loin.
