Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
Honey Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Carrots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or your preferred shape.
- Roast the Carrots: Arrange the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
- Make Honey Garlic Butter: While the carrots roast, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in honey until well combined.
- Toss Carrots with Honey Garlic Butter: Once the carrots are roasted, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter over the hot carrots and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve Warm: Serve the honey garlic butter roasted carrots warm as a delicious side to your favorite main dishes.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor; garlic powder can be a substitute if necessary.
- Roast carrots until just tender to keep some bite or longer for softer texture.
