A FAVORITE GLAZED ROASTED CARROTS RECIPE
Cooked to a delicious and tender perfection, these Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots make an excellent side dish and take only 10 minutes to prep! The oven-roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots, and turns the sauce into a tasty glaze.
Tender, sweet and savory roasted carrots make the perfect side dish for holiday gatherings, but are also easy enough to go with a quick weeknight meal.
Not into honey?! Try my Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots, instead.
Versatile, healthy, and always delicious, carrots are one strong ally of mine, especially on busy weeknights. A few additional items like garlic, butter, and honey help to break the crunchy orange veggie out of its role as a vessel for Ranch Dip. Which is the only role carrots play when in the hands of my kids…
HOW TO MAKE THIS ROASTED CARROTS RECIPE
- Cut up the carrots and set aside.
- Melt butter over medium-heat; add garlic and cook, stirring very frequently. DO NOT burn the garlic.
- Remove from heat and stir in the honey.
- Toss the carrots with the prepared sauce, season, and bake in a 425F oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
CAN YOU COOK GLAZED CARROTS A DAY AHEAD?
- Absolutely! Cooking carrots a day ahead is a time-saver and they are simple to reheat and serve.
- While the microwave is OKAY to use for reheating, I suggest to pop them on the stove. Add just a bit of butter to the pan and reheat over medium-low heat until the carrots are heated through and just beginning to brown.
HOW TO STORE ROASTED CARROTS
- Allow carrots to cool completely. Transfer the cooled carrots to an airtight container and cover with a lid.
- The carrots will store well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
