Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Carrots:

  • Trim the ends and cut the carrots into 2-3 inch uniform pieces for even cooking.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Butter:

  • Stir in the honey until well combined, then remove from heat.

4. Coat the Carrots:

  • Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the honey garlic butter over them.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

5. Roast the Carrots:

  • Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.

6. Garnish & Serve:

  • Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
