Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks or evenly sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Make the honey garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, and minced garlic, mixing until well blended.
- Toss the carrots: Place the cut carrots in a large bowl and pour the honey garlic butter mixture over them. Toss thoroughly to coat all the carrot pieces evenly.
- Roast the carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a sweet and savory side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
- You can adjust the amount of honey to control the sweetness to your preference.
- If you prefer softer carrots, roast for a few minutes longer.
- Use fresh garlic for the best taste; garlic powder can be used in a pinch but will alter the flavor.
