Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Rinse the baby carrots under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  • Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until well incorporated.
  • Place the baby carrots on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and pour the glaze over them.
  • Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper over the carrots and toss gently if needed.
  • Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, vibrant baby carrots for best flavor and appearance. Ensure the glaze evenly coats the carrots to prevent uneven roasting.
