Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots

Transform humble carrots into a star side dish with these Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots. Sweet honey, savory garlic, and rich butter create a luscious glaze over tender, slightly crisp carrots. Simple enough for weeknights yet impressive enough for holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Medium Carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 45 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and cut carrots into uniform pieces. Slice thicker carrots lengthwise if needed.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Glaze: Melt butter, then whisk in honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss to Coat: Place carrots in a bowl and toss with the glaze until evenly coated.
  5. Roast the Carrots: Spread carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  6. Optional Broil: For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure carrots are cut uniformly for even roasting. Space carrots well on the baking sheet to promote caramelization rather than steaming. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the glaze for a subtle tang if desired.
