Ingredients
Scale
Carrots
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Prepare Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cut carrots with olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Roast them in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote caramelization and even cooking, until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the roasted carrots from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
- For an extra smoky flavor, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper on the carrots before roasting.
- You can also prepare these carrots in a skillet over medium heat if you prefer stovetop cooking.
