Description

Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots combine the natural sweetness of fresh carrots with a rich honey garlic butter glaze. Roasting them at high heat caramelizes the edges, producing tender, flavorful carrots with a slightly crispy finish. This easy, healthy side complements a variety of main dishes and is perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (plant-based)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (natural)
  • 2 tbsp honey (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Start by washing and peeling your carrots. Cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure uniform roasting and consistent tenderness.
  2. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter (plant-based) and add minced garlic (natural). Stir gently until fragrant, then mix in the honey (natural) to create a sweet, savory glaze.
  3. Toss Carrots with the Glaze: Place the prepared carrots in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter over them, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Roast Until Tender: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender and caramelized on the edges, turning them once halfway through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness. Serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.

Notes

  • Cut carrots into uniform sizes for even roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure proper caramelization.
  • Use fresh minced garlic (natural) for the best flavor.
  • Monitor carrots near the end of roasting to avoid burning.
  • Using convection mode in the oven can speed up cooking and enhance crispiness.
