Ingredients
500g carrots
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Peel and trim carrots. Cut larger carrots lengthwise so all are similar in size.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Stir in honey, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
5. Place carrots on the baking sheet. Pour honey garlic butter over them and toss to coat evenly.
6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until carrots are tender and caramelized.
7. Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with leftover glaze and sprinkle with parsley if using.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Use rainbow carrots for a vibrant twist and added visual appeal.
For extra depth, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze.
