Tender and sweet oven roasted carrots glazed with honey and a hint of butter, perfect as a flavorful side dish for any meal.
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the peeled and cut carrots to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the honey butter mixture.
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized at the edges.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the carrots for garnish and serve warm.
