Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots Recipe

If you're looking for a delicious way to enjoy carrots, Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots are a fantastic option! They're easy to make, slightly caramelized, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (about 4-5) carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or left whole if small

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp dried thyme (or fresh thyme for garnish)

• 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the carrots – If using larger carrots, cut them into even sticks to ensure even roasting.

3. Mix the glaze – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.

4. Coat the carrots – Toss the carrots in the glaze until well coated.

5. Roast – Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

6. Optional step – Toss with a little butter before serving for extra flavor.

7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
