Ingredients
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots, cut into 3 inch pieces
Sauce
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to create the perfect roasting environment for the carrots.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In an oven-safe cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey and minced garlic, and whisk together until fully combined and fragrant.
- Coat Carrots: Add the carrot pieces to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly with the honey garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle salt and fresh ground pepper over the carrots to season.
- Roast Carrots: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and caramelized slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the carrots, and serve warm.
Notes
- Try to keep your carrots uniformly cut to ensure even cooking.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic in a regular skillet, then transfer the carrots to a baking dish, pour the garlic butter and honey mixture over them, toss to coat, and bake as directed.
- Store any leftover cooked carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days for best freshness.
