Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh carrots, peeled and cut into evenly sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces, about 2-3 inches long. If using baby carrots, skip the cutting step.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Place the carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the glaze over them. Toss until all the carrots are evenly coated.

- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
