Make simple, flavorful honey garlic butter carrots by roasting them until tender and glazed. This easy roasted root vegetables recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 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 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This creates your sweet and savory side dish glaze.
  3. Place the cut carrots in a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote proper roasting.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a quick vegetable side dish.

Notes

  • For a substitution, you can use brown sugar instead of honey for a slightly different sweetness profile.
  • If you prefer a lower fat option, replace half the butter with olive oil.
  • These carrots pair well with side dishes for roast chicken or pork loin.
  • For perfectly roasted carrots, ensure they are cut into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
