Ingredients
2 lbs (900g) carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Butter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Coat the Carrots: Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them in the honey garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
- Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

For a slightly different flavor, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
If using baby carrots, reduce the roasting time to 20-25 minutes.
