Make these sweet and savory honey butter glazed carrots. This simple recipe yields tender, caramelized carrots perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced or baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. If using whole carrots, slice them into uniform pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the carrots with melted butter, honey, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  6. If using, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1 minced clove of garlic to the glaze mixture before tossing with the carrots.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add carrots, and cook for 5 minutes. Add honey, salt, and pepper, then cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until tender, uncovering for the last few minutes to let the glaze thicken.
  • Use brown sugar along with the honey for a deeper caramelized flavor.
