Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces or baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (approximately 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. While the carrots are roasting, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  5. Remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the honey garlic butter glaze over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, checking every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately.
