Creating Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking for your carrots.
2. Prepare Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks to allow for uniform cooking.
3. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
4. Toss Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, add the cut carrots and pour the honey garlic mixture over them. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 25–30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
7. Garnish: Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
