🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated with the glaze.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage
For extra caramelization, broil the carrots for the last 2 minutes—just watch them closely so they don't burn. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat to bring back the sticky glaze.
