Tender roasted carrots glazed in a delicious honey-garlic-butter sauce, then topped with fresh parsley for a sweet and savory side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots, washed, peeled (optional), cut diagonally into 2–3‑inch pieces
  •  cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet or use an oven‑safe skillet.
  2. In a small pan or skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook ~30 sec until fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in honey until combined.
  4. Add carrots to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Season with salt & pepper.
  5. Transfer carrots to baking sheet in a single layer, reserving extra sauce.
  6. Roast for 20–25 minutes until fork‑tender, tossing halfway through.
  7. Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes to char edges.
  8. Return carrots to pan with reserved sauce, simmer 2–5 minutes until glazed.
  9. Transfer to serving dish, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Peeling carrots is optional; scrub well if leaving skins on.
  • Use baby carrots instead—reduce bake time accordingly.
  • Don’t burn garlic—cook on medium and stir frequently.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of balsamic vinegar.
  • Make‑ahead: roast a day in advance and reheat in a skillet with butter.
