Make tender-crisp carrots coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic butter glaze. This easy roasted vegetable side dish is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 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 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cut carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. This creates your simple sweet and savory glaze.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss them well until every piece is evenly coated. Spread the carrots into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a quick side dish for chicken or pork.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, you can briefly broil the carrots for the last minute, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the butter slightly or add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the wet ingredients before tossing.
  • This recipe works well with other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes.
