Description
A simple recipe for roasting carrots coated in a sweet and savory glaze made from honey, garlic, and butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb 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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Place the cut carrots on a large baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss them until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves to the butter mixture before tossing with the carrots.
- If the glaze seems too thin after roasting, you can return the carrots to the oven for an extra 3 to 5 minutes to allow more liquid to evaporate and thicken the glaze.
- Use baby carrots if you prefer not to peel and chop fresh carrots.
