Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into uniform pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. This creates your best roasted carrot flavoring base.
- Place the cut carrots in a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots. Toss well until all the carrots are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to promote caramelization.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a kid friendly vegetable side or holiday roasted carrots side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze mixture for a subtle warmth.
- If your carrots are very thick, you may need to roast them for an additional 5 to 7 minutes to ensure they are perfectly tender.
- To achieve the best results for caramelized roasted carrots, make sure the carrots are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
