Tender, caramelized baby carrots coated in a beautiful honey butter glaze that brings out their natural sweetness. This simple side dish transforms ordinary carrots into something special.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots rinsed and dried thoroughly
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
- Freshly cracked black pepper for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, honey, granulated garlic, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the honey glaze mixture over the dried carrots and toss thoroughly to ensure all carrots are evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap.
- Place in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until carrots are fork-tender and lightly caramelized. Cooking time may vary based on carrot thickness.
