Make sweet and savory roasted honey glazed carrots using brown sugar and garlic. This simple side dish caramelizes perfectly and suits weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 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 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cut carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  5. Stir in the honey and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  6. Pour the honey-butter glaze over the carrots and toss them until they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  8. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is caramelized and glossy.
  9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the glaze mixture.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, simmer the carrots in 1/2 inch of water until almost tender, then add the glaze and cook until the liquid evaporates and the carrots are coated.
  • Cut carrots into uniform sizes to promote even cooking.
