Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots

A simple and delicious side dish that combines sweet honey, rich butter, and savory garlic with roasted carrots, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Carrots: Wash and peel carrots if needed. Cut larger carrots into similar size sticks so they cook evenly.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl mix melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until it blends well.
  3. Roast the Carrots: Toss carrots with sauce to coat. Lay them in one layer on the baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

These carrots are forgiving; small changes yield good results. For a richer finish, add a small knob of butter after roasting.
