Cooked to a delicious and tender perfection, these Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots make an excellent side dish and take only 5-10 minutes to prep! The oven-roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots, and turns the sauce into a tasty glaze.
Ingredients

• 2 pounds (1 kg) carrots washed and peeled (or unpeeled)
• 1/3 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
• Cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray; set aside.
• Trim ends of carrots and cut into thirds.
• Melt butter in a pan or skillet over medium-heat. Pour in honey and cook, while stirring, until completely melted through the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant while stirring.
• Add the carrots and allow the sauce to thicken for a further minute, while tossing the carrots through the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. 
• Transfer carrots to baking sheet in a single layer so they cook evenly. Toss to evenly coat.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until carrots are fork-tender. Broil (or grill) for 2-3 minutes on high heat to crisp/char the edges.
• OPTIONAL: Transfer them back into the skillet and allow carrots to simmer in the sauce over high heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce into a glaze. *SEE NOTES.
• Season with a little extra salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley.
• Arrange onto serving platter and enjoy!
