Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Carrots:

• Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks (about 2-3 inches long). If using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined.

4. Toss the Carrots:

• Place the prepared carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Drizzle the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss to coat evenly. Make sure each carrot is coated with the glaze.

5. Roast the Carrots:

• Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
• If you want a bit of extra color, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes (watch them closely to avoid burning).

6. Serve:

• Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme for a pop of color and flavor (optional).
• Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main courses.
