Make perfectly caramelized, tender roasted carrots with a sweet and savory honey garlic butter glaze. This easy oven roasted carrots recipe is a family favorite side dish perfect for weeknight meals or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This creates your sweet glazed carrots mixture.
  3. Place the cut carrots in a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote caramelization.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as your perfect roasted vegetable sides.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting to make Garlic Parmesan Carrots.
  • If you prefer a less sweet flavor, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.
  • To ensure tender roasted carrots, cut them into uniform pieces before tossing with the glaze.
