These honey garlic butter roasted carrots are a sweet-savory side dish where tender carrots are coated in a buttery, garlicky glaze and roasted to caramelized perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb (about 900 g) carrots, cut into 2–3″ pieces
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook ~30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey until fully combined.
  3. Toss the carrots in the garlic-honey-butter sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for about 20 minutes, until fork-tender and beginning to caramelize.
  6. Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp edges or simmer again in the pan for an extra-glazed finish.
  7. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use baby carrots for faster roasting or visuals.
  • Substitute maple syrup or brown sugar for honey.
  • Add spices like smoked paprika, cumin, or chili flakes for depth.
  • Mix in other root veggies such as parsnips or sweet potatoes.
  • Garnish with herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of parsley.
