Description

Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots are a deliciously sweet and savory side dish featuring tender carrots coated in a rich blend of honey, garlic, and butter, then roasted to caramelized perfection. This simple recipe elevates everyday carrots with vibrant flavors and an irresistibly glossy finish, making it perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound (500g) carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

Honey Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the carrots.
  2. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the carrots from sticking during roasting.
  3. Make the honey garlic butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the honey and minced garlic, stirring constantly until well combined and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Coat the carrots: Place the carrot sticks into a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over them and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Toss to combine: Stir the carrots thoroughly ensuring each stick is evenly coated with the honey garlic butter sauce for maximum flavor.
  6. Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even cooking and caramelization.
  7. Roast the carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and caramelized, stirring or turning them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
  8. Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
  9. Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks to ensure uniform roasting.
  • For extra caramelization, turn the carrots halfway through roasting and baste them with any leftover sauce on the baking sheet.
  • Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness but can be omitted if not available.
  • Use peeled carrots for a smoother texture and better flavor absorption.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily, just adjust roasting time slightly depending on the amount.
