Make tender, caramelized carrots with a sweet and savory glaze using honey, brown butter, and garlic. This easy roasted side dish works for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Toss the prepared carrots with a light coating of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast the carrots for 20 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. While the carrots roast, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant; do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Stir in the honey and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly bubbling. Remove from heat.
  5. Remove the carrots from the oven. Drizzle the honey-butter-garlic glaze evenly over the carrots and toss gently to coat.
  6. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is caramelized.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a stovetop method, simmer the carrots in water until tender-crisp, drain well, then add the glaze ingredients and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the carrots.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the glaze mixture.
  • This recipe works well with baby carrots if you prefer not to chop. Adjust roasting time slightly if using smaller carrots.
