These honey garlic roasted carrots are a quick and easy side dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with a caramelized finish. Perfect for any meal, from weeknight dinners to holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots (baby carrots or regular carrots sliced into sticks)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash the carrots thoroughly and peel them. If using regular carrots, slice them into sticks about 4-5 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Baby carrots can be used as-is.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
  4. Add the prepared carrots to the mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated with the honey garlic mixture.
  5. Spread the carrots out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  7. Check for doneness by using a fork to test the carrots. They should pierce easily but still have a slight bite.
  8. Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Use fresh garlic for a robust flavor.’, ‘Flip the carrots halfway through roasting for even caramelization.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like red pepper flakes or lemon juice for extra flavor.’, ‘For an extra caramelized finish, broil the carrots for 2-3 minutes after roasting.’]
