A simple recipe for sweet and savory roasted carrots coated in a rich honey garlic butter glaze, resulting in perfectly caramelized and tender vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs 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
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cut carrots in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots. Toss well until all the carrots are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for better caramelization.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the butter mixture.
  • If your carrots are very thick, you may need to roast them for an additional 5 minutes to reach tenderness.
  • To achieve a deeper caramelization, you can briefly place the carrots under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
