Preheat oven to 425˚F.
Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Cut up the carrots and set aside.
Melt butter over medium-heat in a large nonstick skillet. Stir in the garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring very frequently. Do not burn the garlic.
Remove from heat and stir in the honey; stir until thoroughly combined.
Toss the carrots with the prepared sauce either in the skillet, or pour the sauce over the carrots in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until well combined.
Transfer the carrots to the baking sheet. Arrange in one layer and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the carrots are browned and tender.
Remove from oven and transfer to a serving plate.
Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Even Cuts: Cut the carrots into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. If they're different sizes, some may be overcooked while others are still crunchy.
Baby Carrots: You can use baby carrots, but check on them a bit earlier when roasting.
Garlic Watch: Be careful when cooking the garlic in butter, as it can burn quickly. Keep the heat medium to low and stir frequently to prevent burning.
Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your taste.
Balsamic Glaze: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze for a richer and tangier flavor.
Make Ahead: Cook the carrots a day in advance and reheat them on the stove before you are ready to serve them. Just toss them in a pan with butter and warm them over medium-low heat until they're heated through and start to brown.
