Make tender, caramelized roasted carrots coated in a rich honey, garlic, and butter glaze. This easy recipe delivers a sweet and savory side dish perfect for any weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 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 large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your glaze.
  3. Add the cut carrots to the bowl. Toss them thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the honey garlic butter mixture.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for better roasting.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the carrots halfway through the cooking time. The carrots are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork and have slightly caramelized edges.
  6. Remove from the oven. Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, you can briefly broil the carrots for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If your carrots are very thick, cut them into smaller, uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in this simple garlic butter side.
