Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pounds large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, add the butter and cook over medium-high heat. Continue to whisk for a few minutes until the butter starts to become frothy and brown.
- Add Honey and Garlic: Once the butter is browned, add the honey and chopped garlic and remove from heat.
- Prepare Carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, add the carrots and drizzle the brown butter sauce on top. Toss until evenly coated and spread onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast Carrots: Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and roasted.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Monitor the butter closely while browning to avoid burning.
- Ensure the carrots are cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- You can add other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
- Serve these carrots as a side dish with roasted meats, poultry, or fish.
