Honey Butter Roasted Carrots
Roasted Carrots are the perfect side dish for the holidays! Tender and delicious carrots are caramelized with a sweet honey butter glaze.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Wash and scrub carrots. Dry well. Peeling is optional but not necessary. Slice diagonally on a bias into 1 1/2-inch pieces. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise, if they are narrow, leave them whole.
- Place carrots in a large bowl.
- Melt the honey, brown sugar and butter together in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Stir to combine. Pour over carrots and toss to coat.
- Arrange carrots on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and turn the carrots over. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-20 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
Notes
- This recipe will also work with regular carrots. Just peel and cut them into equal sized pieces.
- If your carrots are too tender before they caramelize, you can stick them under the broiler on low for a few minutes. Just be sure to watch carefully to avoid burning.
- I highly recommend completely covering your baking sheet with foil. The sugars in the sauce can burn easily, making clean-up difficult.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
