Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the cut carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your glaze mixture.
- Pour half of the glaze mixture over the carrots and toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle the remaining glaze mixture over them. Toss gently to recoat.
- Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the glaze has caramelized slightly.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a softer interior, you can blanch the carrots in boiling water for 3 minutes before tossing them with the glaze and roasting.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the honey slightly or cook the glaze mixture on the stovetop for 1 minute before adding the garlic.
- You can substitute baby carrots for fresh-cut carrots; reduce the total roasting time by about 5 minutes.
