Description
Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots are a true delight for the senses. With their caramelized edges, sweet and savory flavors, and vibrant presentation, these carrots are sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
- 2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
- 8 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to a toasty 425°F. This high heat is key for achieving those caramelized, flavor-packed edges on the carrots.
2. Prepare the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce: In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Coat the Carrots: Add the peeled and cut carrot pieces to the skillet, tossing them gently to ensure they’re evenly coated in the honey garlic butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting the amounts to your liking.
4. Roast to Perfection: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and let the carrots roast for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re tender and caramelized to your desired doneness.
5. Garnish and Serve: Once the carrots are out of the oven, sprinkle them with the freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant presentation. Serve these Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots warm and enjoy every bite!
Notes
The key to getting the best results with this recipe is to ensure the carrots are cut into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. I recommend peeling the carrots and then slicing them into 3-inch segments for the perfect texture.
