Ingredients
– 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.
2. Prepare Carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks, about 2-3 inches in length, for even cooking.
3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Coat Carrots: Place the carrot sticks in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss until they are evenly coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
6. Roast Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Flip the carrots halfway through for even caramelization.
7. Check for Doneness: The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized when done. A fork should easily pierce them.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once finished, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
Following these steps makes for perfectly caramelized and flavorful carrots that are sure to be a hit!
