Why this recipe works
Roasted honey garlic carrots are a cost-effective side dish and I always have a bag of carrots in my fridge as they last a while and are ready when I need them for a side to my Smothered Pork Chops. Roasting vegetables is my favorite way to make a tasty side dish, it always brings out the best flavor like my Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Roasted Cauliflower.
Ingredients needed
- Carrots: Large carrots peeled and cut into 2-3 inch pieces.
- Butter: Use salted or unsalted butter.
- Honey: Gives the carrots their extra added sweetness and allows them to caramelize into a delicious glaze.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic always adds the most flavor.
- Parsley: Fresh chopped parsley looks the best but driven parsley can be used in a pinch.
How to make honey garlic roasted carrots
- Step 1: Melt butter In a large oven-safe skillet and whisk in the fresh garlic and honey.
- Step 2: Toss carrots with the honey glaze garlic mixture until coated. Bake until fork tender.
Recipe Tips
- I like to use a cast iron skillet and then put it straight into the oven. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet transfer it to a baking dish.
- Try and keep your carrots the same size for even cooking, cut any large ones in half.
- I don’t recommend using baby carrots they don’t have as much flavor as whole carrots.
- Store leftover cooked carrots in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
- Keep an eye on them making sure they don’t burn.
