Ingredients

2 lbs baby carrots, rinsed and dried

3 tbsp honey

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter, melted

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp garlic powder

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Fresh ground black pepper, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss carrots in a large bowl with honey, olive oil, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder until well coated.
  3. Spread carrots evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  5. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley and black pepper if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Add balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.

Sprinkle with thyme or rosemary for an herby flavor.

Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness.

Mix in a pinch of cayenne for gentle heat.

Double the recipe by using two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
